THE REAL REASON WWE REMOVED MICK FOLEY FROM SUPERCARD FOLLOWING DONALD TRUMP CONTROVERSY
Fallout begins as Mick Foley refuses a new WWE Legends deal. Find out how this impacts Foley's future in WWE 2K26 and beyond.
Looks like Mick Foley and WWE are already splitting up.
Earlier this week, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley said he's leaving the company when his Legends contract is up next year because of WWE's relationship with President Donald Trump. And it seems WWE is already taking steps to cut ties with Foley.
This week’s WarGames event in WWE Supercard was supposed to have a Mick Foley card as “Saint Mick.” This has been a Christmas thing for years in Supercard, and it would’ve been Foley’s fifth time in the game as “Saint Mick.”
But just hours after the event went live, it was pulled without warning. Later, game developer Catdaddy talked about why Foley was removed from the game’s Discord, saying:
“Hey everyone, it’s uncertain what will happen, but it seems we won’t be able to use Mick Foley, sadly. We really liked that card. We're working on another fun one to take its place.”
The replacement? An Austin Theory card showing off his new look from RAW. Thanks, I guess?
Because Foley was removed from WWE Supercard this week, it makes you wonder if he'll be in WWE 2K26. If Foley doesn't have a big part in the next game's story, he could easily be removed, like when WWE had 2K remove Mandy Rose in WWE 2K23 after she was let go by the company in December 2022.
What did Mick Foley say?
On Tuesday morning, Foley went to social media to say he is leaving WWE because of their association with Donald Trump, saying:
“LEAVING WWE. I’ve been worried about WWE’s closeness with Donald Trump for months now—especially with his administration's cruel treatment of immigrants (and anyone who “looks like an immigrant”). But reading the president’s incredibly cruel comments after Rob Reiner’s death is the last straw.
“I don't want to be with a company that supports someone so heartless as he pushes our country to tyranny. Last night, I told @WWE talent relations that I won’t be appearing for the company while this guy is still in office. Plus, I won’t be signing a new Legends deal when this one ends in June. I love WWE and will always like my time there, and I appreciate all the chances they gave me. But, like Popeye the sailor said, “I stand all I can stand, and I can’t stand more.”
OBA FEMI AMBUSH CONFIRMS BROCK LESNAR MATCH AND SHIFTS ROLLINS’ WRESTLEMANIA PLANS
Seth Rollins teased a WrestleMania 42 match with Bron Breakker after Oba Femi replaced him as Brock Lesnar's opponent.
This week’s RAW didn’t just hint at a big WrestleMania match it quietly spelt it out.
Seth Rollins came out swinging. He went right for Paul Heyman, dropping the jokes and theatrics for once. Seth accused Heyman of picking the wrong side and promised to run him out of WWE. Heyman didn’t flinch. He just did what he always does: sent out Brock Lesnar. For a second, it looked like Rollins vs. Lesnar was heating up for WrestleMania 42.
Then Oba Femi stormed in and flipped the script.
Femi ambushed Brock, and before you could blink, WWE announced Lesnar vs. Femi for Las Vegas. That move did more than set up a fresh headline bout it took Brock out of Seth’s way. Now, the biggest question on RAW is, who's Seth facing at WrestleMania?
Only one guy still fits.
Rollins made his intentions clear. Anyone in Heyman’s camp is officially his enemy. Roman Reigns? He’s tangled up with CM Punk. Lesnar? Now booked with Femi. That doesn’t leave many options.
It leaves Bron Breakker.
Breakker hasn’t been around after hernia surgery, but the story with Rollins isn’t over. He was the one who turned on Seth and kicked him out of The Vision. That betrayal still stings. When WWE plants a seed like that, they usually bring it full circle.
Some earlier reports said Breakker’s injury might keep him out of WrestleMania, but RAW’s booking says otherwise. If the plan was always Rollins vs. Lesnar, WWE wouldn't have switched gears so fast to Lesnar vs. Femi. That change feels deliberate. It clears space for something bigger.
Rollins even name-dropped Breakker during his promo, mentioned the injury, but kept him in the story. That line mattered WWE hasn’t forgotten about him.
Breakker’s official medical update is still up in the air. Behind the scenes, people are confident. Rollins will be ready for WrestleMania, and hopefully Breakker can make it too. If he’s not cleared, Logan Paul is waiting in the wings as Plan B.
HOW PAUL HEYMAN MANAGES FOUR TOP TIER TALENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY ON WWE RAW
Paul Heyman’s massive backstage influence is revealed as Bron Breakker undergoes emergency surgery before WrestleMania 42.
Word is spreading about just how much pull Paul Heyman really has backstage in WWE.
Sure, everybody sees him on RAW standing next to Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory. But behind the curtain, Heyman’s hand is all over things you’d never guess he touched.
Sean Ross Sapp cleared up the whole “Is Heyman involved with creative?” thing during a Fightful Select Q&A. And the answer? Yes, absolutely. Heyman jumps in with ideas, especially for the talent he’s managing on TV.
You’ll usually find him shaping personalities, tweaking promos, and making sure those stories hit harder. He’s got a reputation for mentoring talent he believes in, too. He doesn’t just offer generic advice; he genuinely invests in these people. At one point, he even joked that WWE sometimes holds back on pushing someone if he’s too publicly supportive. That pretty much says a lot about how much clout he’s got.
Currently, all the drama surrounding Heyman’s on-screen group has fans even more glued to what he’s up to. Remember Seth Rollins? He was leading The Vision until his injury last year left him out of the picture.
Then, at Elimination Chamber, Rollins ripped the mask off and went after Heyman’s crew, zeroing in on Logan Paul. Next thing you know, Rollins is attacking Heyman on RAW, making this rivalry even wilder and turning up the heat.
While all of that unfolded, Heyman spoke out about Bron Breakker’s recent setback. He didn’t sugarcoat anything when he called into Busted Open Radio to talk about Breakker’s hernia surgery. Breakker hurt himself so badly that he needed emergency surgery, and this was right when he was on the verge of a big WrestleMania moment. Did Heyman treat it like a tragedy, though? Not really.
He spun it as fuel for the fire, saying the frustration from being stuck on the sidelines could actually help Breakker come back even stronger. In his eyes, every day away just makes that hunger to return even bigger. With WrestleMania 42 coming up fast in Las Vegas, the real question is whether Breakker will heal up in time to make an impact.
