WWE News Roundup – Roman Reigns spotted hugging a major star off-air, Reason why Cesaro never became world champion, Officials didn't like how AEW star spoke (February 26th, 2022)

#4. Mick Foley comments on Cesaro's WWE exit, why the star never won the world title, and more

Cesaro's decision to leave WWE hasn't been well-received by fans as many wished to see him capture the world title someday. Mick Foley opened up about Cesaro's release and was disappointed that he never got a consistent spot in the main event picture.

Foley has been an ardent supporter of Cesaro ever since his independent wrestling days. The Hardcore Legend said that Vince McMahon sadly didn't see Cesaro as a world champion, unlike him and many fans:

"I'm really disappointed because I had been one of Cesaro's biggest proponents for a long time ever since I saw him working in the independents in the early 2000s. Man, Vince McMahon just never saw in him what I saw and what so many of you saw, which was a world champion. But in this case, I feel like WWE's loss is the wrestling world's gain. Because this guy, Cesaro, can work anywhere in the world."

Mick Foley worked with Cesaro during his run as RAW's General Manager several years ago, and the Hall of Famer held the wrestler in the highest of regards.

Foley is confident that Cesaro could win a major world title and felt WWE would eventually realize that letting the 41-year-old star go was a significant loss:

"This is a guy who should be a world champion, who'll be a world champion. Like I said, WWE's loss is professional wrestling's gain because this guy is going to do great things. A class act, a great wrestler, and a bigger loss to WWE than they realize." (H/T - WrestlingNews.co

As things stand, Cesaro is a free agent and eligible to sign with any wrestling company in the world. Where do you see him going next?

#3. People in WWE did not like the way Keith Lee spoke

Keith Lee revealed on Busted Open Radio that his promo skills weren't appreciated by people backstage in WWE.

When he made the revelation, the former WWE star was talking about possibly establishing a stable with Mark Henry. Lee said officials didn't like the way he spoke and he wasn't sure why that was the case:

"Listen, it's something that (Mark Henry) and I talked about years ago, maybe I think I was still in NXT at the time. He knows I am open to that. Especially since in that particular place (WWE) most people had an issue with the way I speak and my demeanor in how I speak, and my cadence. I don't know what it is about. Maybe my voice or maybe its vocal tone, whatever it may be, was a bit of an issue there. If it ever becomes an issue, I am sure that Mark could take the reins. The guy is very versatile with his microphone skills." (H/T - Wrestling Inc)

Keith Lee recently debuted for AEW and has focused on stabilizing his career following a largely forgettable run in the WWE.
