8 WWE Superstars Whose Social Media Activity Backfired
4. Cameron's Calls For Change Sees Her Released
For former Funkadactyl Cameron, she believed that by chiming in on Ryback's beef with WWE she was fighting the good fight and looking for genuine change. In reality, all that the Tough Enough contestant did was fast-track her WWE release.
Back in mid-2016, Ryback was already halfway out of the door with WWE. Disgruntled, The Big Guy took to social media to vent about his frustrations with pay, how WWE should cover hotel and travel expenses, that there should be equal pay across the roster, and that the company should continue to pay talents who are fired before the natural end of their contracts.
By this point, the former Skip Sheffield was way, way past caring and was expected to leave WWE imminently. But for Cameron, while she wasn't doing much of note on WWE TV, the company did not yet have a reason to fire her. That is, until this response to Ryback's since-deleted post.
With a simple "amen brother!", Ariane Andrew had signed her WWE death warrant. Less than a week later, Cameron would be one of several wrestlers let out of their WWE contracts.
The irony here is, WWE didn't cut Ryback at this time. Instead, the company would purposely refuse to use The Big Guy for several more months, before eventually severing ties in August 2016.
