It now appears that Joey Styles’ comments during a Facebook Q&A with Cathy Kelley are what got him fired by WWE. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that WWE felt Styles’ comments sounded like he didn’t care what company higher-ups thought, and that’s a big no-no.
During the Facebook interview, Styles talked about Roman Reigns being pushed because kids and their mothers like him. The former ECW announcer also revealed that he doesn’t like the idea of the new Universal Title, and had joked that some of his comments may get him in trouble. He said the WWE.com team was unappreciated by the company, and may have said too many “inside” things for WWE’s liking.
The interview has now been pulled from all of WWE’s social media pages.
Styles most recently appeared at the EVOLVE 67 iPPV in New York City and received a big pop from his hometown crowd.
