WWE wrestler dismissed for allegedly disrespecting the U.S. national anthem during a live broadcast

In 2011, WWE abruptly fired veteran wrestler Fit Finlay—not for poor performance, but for cutting off the U.S. national anthem during a live show. Intended as a storyline move, the decision backfired, sparking backlash. Finlay admitted the misstep and took full responsibility.

Despite the fallout, his resilience paid off. After years away, Finlay returned to WWE, proving that redemption is possible—even in the high-stakes world of pro wrestling.
