Mick Foley Drops Major WWE Update

Mick Foley walked away from WWE due to his sentiments against Donald Trump. Now, in AEW, he revealed that he’s off his WWE legends contract. Taking to Facebook, he made the announcement with the caption,

“A MESSAGE FOR WWE – as of this day, I am no longer under a Legends merchandising contract, and have a message for WWE at the end of our thirty year relationship.”

In the video, he said, “The message for WWE and specifically their merchandise and marketing people, the message is thank you. And I mean that sincerely. When I got to WWE in 1996, I had been in the business for 11 years, and I finally got an action figure. And I figured that was my one and only action figure, and here it is 2026 and honestly, a couple of days ago, I just received my largest quarterly royalties statement in probably 10 years.”

“So I want to thank everyone in WWE who had a hand in making the decision that I was someone worth making action figures for and different types of merchandise. Thank you very much for that. For fans, I want you to know that I have no problem signing WWE memorabilia. I look forward to it. I’m proud of everything I did there, but it’s time for a new chapter in my career and in my life.”

“And I’m really looking forward to this adventure with AEW, and I’m really looking forward to doing everything I can possibly do to make AEW as great as it can possibly be. I’m looking forward to having some merchandise coming out with AEW in addition to a couple of other companies that I just talked to today that have a couple of exciting ideas. And I will be rolling out those ideas sometime soon.”
