Mick Foley urges WWE colleagues to prioritize democracy over politics

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has issued a public appeal to his former colleagues, urging those with personal relationships with President Donald Trump to prioritize the country over political party loyalty. Foley expressed concern regarding the perceived lack of Congressional oversight and accused the president of corruption.

Foley previously decided not to renew his WWE Legends contract in December 2025, citing the company’s relationship with Trump as a primary reason. He noted that Trump’s comments following the death of filmmaker Rob Reiner served as a turning point, stating that his silence would make him complicit. Since leaving WWE, Foley has joined AEW, despite earning less than his previous contract allowed.

Several high-profile figures maintain ties to the administration. Triple H, WWE Chief Content Officer, serves as Vice-Chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. Additionally, WWE co-founder Linda McMahon serves as Secretary of Education, and Trump holds shares in TKO, the parent company of WWE.
