It has been known for a while that Mick Foley will be gone from the WWE and Raw at some point. While a timeline hadn’t been set in stone for his departure, this week gave us clues that the wheels are now in motion.
This week saw Foley attempt to fire Commissioner Stephanie McMahon due to her insistence that he fire someone. When that was not possible, he was verbally bullied by Triple H, which resulted in his giving the Mandible Claw to The Game. He was subsequently treated to a low blow from Stephanie who ordered Triple H to finish off Foley.
While this sets up the events to remove Foley from the show, it looks like they are quickly trying to wrap things up. Here is what the preview for next week’s Raw says:
“This Attitude Era-esque moment brought the WWE Universe in Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena to its feet before Stephanie saved her husband with a low blow to Foley, but longtime fans of The Hardcore Legend will be far less enthused about what happens next. Triple H and Stephanie don’t exactly forgive and forget, so one wonders if Foley’s days as Raw GM are now numbered.”
