Westside Gunn Cuts Ties With WWE After Alleging Ejection From Buffalo Raw

He alleges years of support went unrecognized, with threats over wrestling references, prompting a pivot to his 4THROPE collective.

Overview

  • The Griselda rapper says security removed him from Monday Night Raw in Buffalo within minutes of the show starting after he paid about $5,000 for a seat plus travel and lodging.
  • He says he will no longer promote WWE and will focus his wrestling efforts through his 4THROPE brand, which has featured the Hardys, Mustafa Ali, Enzo Amore, Gabe Kidd, and The Good Brothers.
  • Gunn alleges he was previously threatened to remove wrestling references from his music and later received a legal letter after a "Million Dollar Man" billboard honoring Ted DiBiase and the late Virgil.
  • He also claims a specific company insider targeted him, describing bias against a young Black entrepreneur.
  • As of the latest reports, WWE has not responded to his statements, and fans on social media are voicing support for him.
