Finlay Released Because Of Incident At Weekend House Show

Written by Richard Gray on Mar 29, 2011 - 2:01:03 PM

WrestlingNewsWorld.com is able to confirm Finlay has been released from WWE.

There was an incident at Friday's Raw house show in Champaign, Illinois where The Miz interrupted the National Anthem to setup the opening bout against Randy Orton. The segment, scripted by Finlay, upset members of the National Guard who were in attendance.

As one of WWE's business partners WWE acted accordingly and terminated Finlay, a long-time backstage producer, for scripting the segment. This explains why his profile was removed from the official WWE website.
