ProWrestlingSheet.com is reporting that Joey Styles has been released by the WWE. Styles had been working as the WWE’s VP of Digital Marketing. There is no word yet on why the official reason why he has been released but some are saying it might be due to his “Shoot” style interview for WWE’s Facebook page back in late July.

Styles sat down with Cathy Kelley for a Live Facebook Q&A where he promised to tell all. During the interview, he had some negative comments about the new WWE Universal Title name along with the current system of a 3 man commentary team.
He also spoke about why Roman Reigns has been pushed so hard as a babyface:
“Bottom line is, if our chairman thinks he sees a future star as a babyface, that’s how things are gonna play out … But the answer is Vince thinks it can work. He’s been right much, much, much, much, much more than wrong over the course of the last 40 years. I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna second-guess the chairman”
The Facebook Q&A video has been taken down by the WWE and Joey Styles hasn’t tweeted since July 29th (which is a day or so after this all happened).

We don’t know the official reason for the firing but we can imagine this might have something to do with it.
