Windham Rotunda has hit back at a recent report that some within WWE believed he "deserved" to be fired earlier this year.

That report came from Ringside News, who claim a WWE source told them:

"If you were running a business and Windham was on your payroll, you'd release him too. Between his backstage antics and the way he handled himself when making millions and millions, while medically flagged, he really deserved to be released."

Taking to Twitter, the former Bray Wyatt has responded to all of this by using the ever-brilliant GIF of The Rock rolling his eyes, and seemingly making reference to Bruce Prichard and John Laurinaitis.

Where and when Windham shares his opinion remains to be seen, but the three-time World Champion is now finally an official free agent - with his WWE 90-day non-compete clause having expired as of yesterday.

Of course, there have been plentiful rumours of Rotunda heading to AEW or IMPACT Wrestling, and earlier this week we saw reports that the Eater of Worlds was fielding offers from Hollywood, complete with an image of him at Warner Bros. Studios Gate 4 with Callosum Studios' Jason Baker.
