Fightful additionally reported that Wuertz had "nuclear heat brought on by himself" for the better part of a year. He had to be warned about attending events without a mask and not being vaccinated and was known for loudly criticizing wrestlers for getting vaccinations or even flu shots. Additionally, there was an incident last year where he stormed out of a Triple H speech prior to the In Your House event. Wuertz left after Triple H mentioned that "(paraphrasing) that all people, races, genders, and religions were welcomed," with Wuertz becoming upset once religion was mentioned.

Drake the Lunatic released? He was probably the only one who deserved it for being a fucking goon.

Fightful Select with more stories about Drake Wuertz
renderTimingPixel.png

Drake Wuertz is gone from WWE, and the NXT roster were not short on words about his behavior.
In the wake of Drake Wuertz's backstage NXT county commission video and news that he wasn't allowed in the CWC for weeks, more people that had spoken about him off the record were more willing to go on the record. Several names at the Performance Center claim Drake has had "nuclear heat brought on by himself" for the better part of a year. This follows instances where WWE had to warn him about attending events without a mask and not being vaccinated, and several "attempts for political plays," we're told.
In regards to political plays, the roster was well aware that Drake Wuertz had been trying to position himself for certain roles within the company, and was willing to try to put heat on others to get there, and attempted to numerous times.
There were a couple of instances where we're told that minorities within NXT took exception to the way things were worded by Wuertz. One situation we've heard of involved EJ Nduka (Ezra Judge) almost feeling the need to get physical with Drake. There were numerous times when talent, specifically people of color, went to NXT higher ups about situations like this.
Last year's NXT In Your House gained Drake Wuertz significant heat after the show, as story of his behavior circulated. Triple H gave a speech in the middle of the Black Lives Matter movement, which saw him say (paraphrasing) that all people, races, genders, and religions were welcomed. We were told that when "religions" were mentioned, Wuertz's attitude immediately changed, and he aggressively gathered his belongings and left.
In the months following, no fewer than ten wrestlers have told Fightful they didn't feel comfortable or safe around Wuertz. He was also known to have loudly criticized wrestlers for getting vaccinations or even simple flu shots.

just to add to the quote a bit.

Seriously though, fuck that guy, and fuck brain washed evangelical nutjobs spreading this Q bullshit. It's fucking gross.
