WWE Says Racism Isn’t A Factor
Naturally the race card has been thrown about regarding Titus O’Neil’s suspension, so much so that WWE issued a statement to the New York Post:
“The suspension of Titus O’Neil had nothing to do with race and everything to do with unprofessional conduct.”
They also published a text message sent by Titus to management accepting his punishment:
“I feel like s–t now so if you have to let me go, I understand. Stupid mistake.”
Batista revealed on Twitter that he advised Titus to quit the company:
I did something better! I called @TitusONeilWWE and told him to ask to be released. #onelife https://t.co/ileACzeB8j
