SmackDown ring announcer Greg Hamilton was let go by WWE after being with the company for over 6 years. It was rumored that his online beef with rapper Westside Gunn had a role to play in his release.
However, the former WWE employee has come out and said that his departure came out of a mutual understanding and that he has no hard feelings for the company:
''After 6 years and 52 weeks a year, it’s time to say “goodbye." First and foremost, don’t let the internet or social media gas you up; this was a mutual respect departure from a great company. Nothing but respect from both sides. It’s business. Also, understand that what you see on social media is exactly that. It’s not real life,'' said Hamilton in a statement.
