Mick Foley has sent a pointed message to current and former WWE colleagues who maintain personal relationships with President Donald Trump, urging them to prioritize the country over party loyalty as the 2026 Midterm Elections reached their conclusion.
The WWE Hall of Famer took to social media to address individuals within the company who have direct ties to Trump, expressing hope that those connections would be used to steer the President toward decisions that benefit the nation as a whole rather than narrow political interests. According to the reports, Foley wrote that he “truly hopes” those with influence over Trump would act accordingly “should things not go their way” in the elections.
Foley did not name specific individuals in his message, but the appeal arrives against the backdrop of WWE’s well-documented relationship with Trump, who has made numerous appearances in WWE programming over the years and whose connections to the company’s leadership have long been a subject of public discussion.
Part of a Wider Pattern
This latest statement is not an isolated incident for Foley, who has previously voiced disagreement with WWE’s relationship with Trump. The former multi-time world champion has used his platform to comment on the intersection of professional wrestling’s corporate ties and American politics, and this message continues that trend as the midterm results were being finalized.
Foley’s comments were first reported by Fightful, with WrestleZone, Wrestling Headlines, and eWrestlingNews all subsequently covering his remarks. The outlets consistently characterized the statement as a direct appeal rather than a broader political endorsement, with Foley’s focus centered specifically on how colleagues with personal access to the President might use that access during a consequential political moment.
As of now, there has been no public response from WWE or from any of the colleagues Foley appears to be referencing. The Hall of Famer’s statement stands as his most recent public commentary on the subject, following a pattern of similar remarks he has made in the past regarding WWE’s association with Trump.
