WWE has been one of the most dominating companies in the world of professional wrestling. The company has sold out Madison Square Garden and has its shows broadcasted throughout the planet.

The legal dispute would ultimately lead to an out of court settlement. This fixed their strained relationship. Slaughter would later make several returns to WWE, including winning his only world championship with the company. The legend was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.
Slaughter’s tweet has caught so many eyes and surprised everyone because he is currently signed to WWE as an ambassador. Vince McMahon doesn’t approve of his talents acknowledging other promotions. It would be interesting to see if Slaughter would face some heat or punishment in the future because of this incident.
