WWE Executive Vice President Triple H had to come forth and clear up the recent mess created by WWE. Former WWE Women’s Champion Mickey James was one of the few released by WWE a few days ago. However, a few days after the release, she had to receive her belongings wrapped in a trash bag.
The multi-million dollar company, whose estimated net worth rounds up to a staggering $5.71 billion as per 2020 reports, faced heavy criticism from fans after this unfortunate happening. On her part, Mickie did not shut down after WWE’s callous attitude.
She took to Twitter to express her disappointment with WWE. The former Divas champion tagged CEO Vince McMahon and sarcastically thanked WWE for the “care package” that had been sent to her.

It is great to see WWE taking matters like these into serious consideration. A legend like Mickie James does not deserve the treatment whether or not she is with the company.
