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.”
PENTA’S SURPRISE RETURN SAVES REY MYSTERIO! LUCHA BROTHERS REUNION COMING SOON
Penta is back! After aiding Rey Mysterio on Raw, the stage is set for a massive Lucha Brothers reunion to tackle The Vision.
Why Penta’s WWE Return Should Lead to a Lucha Brothers Reunion
Penta and Rey Fenix, known for years as the Lucha Brothers, have wrestled all over, winning a bunch of tag team titles and becoming a legendary team. But in WWE, they've been doing their own thing.
They were supposed to get back together at AAA’s Guerra de Titanes on December 20, 2025, but Penta got hurt, so it didn't happen.
He came back on the December 29 episode of Monday Night Raw, helping Rey Mysterio when The Vision attacked him. The plan could be a match between them against Austin Theory and Logan Paul. But if Bron Breakker might become WWE Champion, Bronson Reed will not have an opponent. A three-on-three fight would be a cool way for the Lucha Brothers to team up again.
Rey Fenix Would Help Even the Odds for Penta and Mysterio
Penta and Mysterio are amazing luchadors. They’re respected everywhere for a reason. But when the other team has more people, things get tough.
The Vision has four members, and Penta only has Mysterio. If Breakker takes the WWE Championship from CM Punk, he’ll be dealing with lots of contenders, leaving it three-on-two. This would be a great time for Fenix to jump into the fight. He's Penta's real-life brother and respects Mysterio.
He’d want to protect them, just like they'd do for him. Plus, he knows fans were bummed when Penta couldn’t make it to Guerra de Titanes. Making it up to the fans while standing up for his brother and friend would be awesome for everybody.
It Would Beef Up the Tag Team Division
When WWE signed Penta and Fenix, fans were stoked to see them as a tag team. But the company split them up. It might have seemed weird then, but it makes sense now.
Putting them together as the Lucha Brothers right away would have been cool. But having them wrestle alone and then reunite would get a huge pop from the crowd. When they were named as the opponents of Dominik Mysterio and El Grande Americano, people went nuts because they knew how good they were together.
Unfortunately, Penta’s injury meant the reunion was delayed. Getting the Lucha Brothers back together would give the men’s tag team division more star power. With the Usos winning the World Tag Team Championships again, they need challengers. The Lucha Brothers vs. the Usos, which many fans have wanted to see for years, could finally happen.
Penta and Fenix Would Become Bigger Stars
Penta and Fenix have both shown how awesome they are in the ring. But, just like the Usos, they’re even better as a team. WWE is waiting for the right time to bring them back together.
The injury messed up their reunion last month, but Penta’s current fight is perfect timing for him to team up with his brother again. He and Mysterio are outnumbered in their fight with the Vision. If they want a chance to win, someone needs to help them out. Fenix is the obvious choice for a bunch of reasons.
Helping them would also add another great team to the tag team division. The Usos will need people to fight, and fans have talked about this match for years. Fenix helping Penta and Mysterio is the best thing for their fight with the Vision.
SHAYNA BASZLER EXPLAINS WHY BROCK LESNAR COMPARISONS ARE "LAZY" THINKING
Shayna Baszler calls Brock Lesnar comparisons "lazy." She reveals how Triple H fought to make her #30 in the 2020 Royal Rumble.
So, this former WWE Superstar has something to say about people comparing how she was booked to Brock Lesnar.
Shayna Baszler was a force to be reckoned with back in 2019. She held the NXT Women’s Title for over 500 days, beating wrestlers like Kairi Sane and Ember Moon (also known as Athena).
Baszler showed pure dominance in the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble, where she took out eight other wrestlers. At the time, that tied Bianca Belair's record. Later, Nia Jax broke that record at the 2025 Royal Rumble when she got rid of nine wrestlers.
Shayna Baszler was recently on Chris Van Vliet's INSIGHT show, and the host brought up how she was booked similarly to Brock Lesnar.
She replied, “Yeah, I had a problem with that because I don’t think even back in NXT, I was ever like a female Brock Lesnar. I think it’s a lazy thought, because, oh, she’s a badass, and she does MMA.
Shayna Baszler says Triple H fought for her to be in the 2020 Royal Rumble at No. 30. Earlier in the interview, Shayna Baszler talked about how well she did in the 2020 Women’s Royal Rumble. She said that WWE kept swapping around what number she’d come out as until Triple H pushed for her to be the last one.
“I think there was some talk because Santino was going to be in the women’s Rumble, and I think at first he was supposed to be number 30, but I guess people thought that was a bad idea. It’s funny, but as number 30, it was getting late, and the fans were going to hate it.
“So then they switched me to number 30, and I think Hunter helped me out there. I think he was like, if Shayna isn’t in the Rumble and we put Santino at number 30, everyone’s going to expect the NXT champ to show up, and if it’s Santino, it’s going to be awful. So I think he went to bat for me to get me back in the Rumble.”
