— Responding to a fan on X, former AEW commentator Kevin “Kelly” Foote claims that he was fired from AEW by Tony Khan after having a mental breakdown. Kelly is currently suing Khan for a wrongful termination as well as commentator Ian Riccaboni for libel and sabotaging his career.

All I wanted to do was call wrestling. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd have to listen to a stuttering son of a billionaire feeding me lines and then correcting himself and telling me I was doing great. They waited until I had a mental breakdown to fire me. https://t.co/zCwoXXNzM4
