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.

The 41-year-old from Richmond wrote, “Dear Vince McMahon, I’m not sure if you’re aware, I did receive my WWE care package today. Thank you. #AlwaysBlessedandGrateful #WomensWrestlingMatters.” She uploaded a video of the situation as well.

 

Triple H acted accordingly and intervened in the matter. The founder and executive producer of NXT took things seriously and issued a statement for the course of action to follow.

Upon learning of the disrespectful treatment some of our recently released talent received on behalf of the company, we took immediate action. The person responsible for this inconsiderate action has been fired and is no longer with WWE,” The Game‘ informed the WWE Universe.
