Steve Cutler was released by WWE as it was reported that Vince McMahon was livid with him due to him testing positive for COVID-19.
Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the party was hosted by Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green. The party was attended by wrestlers from WWE, AEW, and Impact Wrestling.
It was noted that management in both WWE and AEW have been frustrated that some talent aren’t taking the pandemic seriously.
The original plan for Cutler was a team with Baron Corbin and Wesley Blake against The Mysterios and Buddy Murphy. Cutler and the Mysterios then tested positive and when Rey and Dominik were brought back, the angle was dropped. McMahon was said to be “livid” after hearing that he attended the party.
It was also noted that AEW held a team party, as footage from it leaked online with wrestlers selling for Brodie Lee Jr. NXT’s Adam Cole, who is dating Britt Baker, was in one of the videos. So far, Cutler is the only wrestler that has been fired for this reason.
