It appears the separation between Mick Foley and WWE has already begun.
Earlier this week, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley announced that he’s parting ways with the company when his Legends contract expires next year due to their association with President Donald Trump. But it appears WWE is already making moves to remove Foley from the company.
This week’s WarGames event in WWE Supercard was set to feature a Mick Foley card as “Saint Mick.” This has been a Christmas tradition over the years in Supercard and would have been Foley’s fifth appearance in the game as the “Saint Mick” character.
However, hours after the event hit the game, it was removed without warning. Later, game developer Catdaddy would address Foley’s removal on the game’s official Discord with the following statement:
“Hi all, it’s unclear exactly what’s going to happen but it’s unlikely we’ll be able to use Mick Foley, unfortunately. We really liked that card. We have another fun one as a replacement in the works.”
The replacement? A card of Austin Theory featuring his new look from RAW. Thanks, I guess?
With Foley’s removal from WWE Supercard this week, it should immediately put his status for WWE 2K26 in question. Unless Foley were to have a prominent role in the next game’s story mode, he would likely be easily removed, much like WWE had 2K do with Mandy Rose in WWE 2K23 when she was released by the company in December 2022.
Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information as it becomes available.
What did Mick Foley say?
On Tuesday morning, Foley took to his social media platforms to announce that he is parting ways with WWE over their association with Donald Trump, stating:
“PARTING WAYS WITH WWE While I have been concerned about WWE‘s close relationship with Donald Trump for several months — especially in light of his administration’s ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants (and pretty much anyone who “looks like an immigrant”) — reading the President’s incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me.
“I no longer wish to represent a company that coddles a man so seemingly void of compassion as he marches our country towards autocracy. Last night, I informed @WWE talent relations that I would not be making any appearances for the company as long as this man remains in office. Additionally, I will not be signing a new Legends deal when my current one expires in June. I love WWE, will always treasure my time with them, and I am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities they afforded me. But, in the words of Popeye the sailor, “I stands all I can stands, and I can’t stands no more.”
