More on Joey Styles’ EVOLVE Release – Why He Was Fired, Styles Apologizes Backstage

– PWInsider reports that one of the big reasons why Joey Styles was released from EVOLVE after last night’s show was the fact that Gabe Sapolsky told the locker room specifically that they were not to say or do anything that referenced the election or politics at the weekend shows. Sapolsky wanted the show to be an escape for the fans after the tension of the past week in the US. Styles made a joke about how announcer Joanna Rose looked so good that President Trump would want to grab her by the p**sy and was released by the company in the aftermath.

Styles’ comment was not a planned one and was instead an improvised line. He was apologizing to everyone backstage including Rose, who was reportedly not offended because she saw it as a comedy line about Trump and not an attack on her. Styles refused his pay for the show and left before show’s end.
