In a move that shocked many, WWE released road agent and occasional on-screen performer Goldust (aka Dustin Runnels) last week.

Goldust had reportedly been working with the WWE divas for their various backstage segments and matches over the past year in a Fit Finlay-type role. He also showed up on SmackDown late last year to hint at an angle with his brother Cody Rhodes (it was heavily rumored that two siblings would face off at WM 28, something that ultimately never came to fruition).

Initially, no full explanation was offered for the surprising cut, apart from PWI's claim that the star's release came about following an unspecified incident at the SmackDown taping two weeks ago.

In this week's (subscribers-only) F4W Newsletter, Bryan Alvarez went into more depth on the situation, noting that it was likely due to Goldust OK'ing what WWE saw as a very dangerous move in a match on the show involving NXT stars Yoshi Tatsu, Titus O'Neil and Darren Young:

WWE released Goldust, who had been working as a producer (modern term for agent) for the Smackdown brand. While this hasn't been confirmed, the belief from piecing together various stories is that he was responsible for coming up with the spot two weeks ago on Smackdown where Yoshi Tatsu took a double-team powerbomb from Titus O'Neil and Darren Young and landed dangerously. The bump was said to look even worse live than it did on TV.

The extremely nasty-looking bump in question comes at roughly the 1:45 mark in this video...

I really hope this isn't the reason why Goldust was released, because it'd be a pretty pathetic reason for releasing him. The blame for that bump falls squarely on Darren Young and Titus O'Neil.

Tampa resident and WWE superstar John Cena has filed for divorce from his high school sweetheart and wife of only 3 years, Liz Huberdeau, saying the marriage is "irretrevably broken." The soon-to-be-ex-Mrs.Cena has armed herself with powerful Miami attorney Raymond Rafool, best known for going head to head with Hulk Hogan in his nasty divorce battle against ex-wife Linda. In that case, Rafool allegedly took Hogan for 70% of his assets. Huberdeau hopes for something similar, but it's not going to be easy. Cena, worth over $18 million, has a 2009 prenup that is said to include the ability to take back all gifts and presents.

That stipulation has forced the soon-to-be-ex to hire Rafool, who told us "Although it is indeed unfortunate that John Cena decided to divorce his high school sweetheart Liz Cena; particularly, after they have come so far in their lives and in his career together, Liz will and really has no choice but to pursue all of her rights and entitlements. Although Mr. Cena pushes a prenuptial agreement and that the parties have only been married for approximately 3 years, Liz Cena has always supported John Cena, even when no one else did, and stood behind him and pushed him forward to achieve their goals for the last 14 years. Sadly, divorce is not the way Liz thought her perfect love story would end."

Another insider warns that this isn't going to be pretty, saying "This is going to dwarf the Hogan divorce in nastiness." Yikes.

Well divorces come with this lifestyle. Really sad to hear divorces like these.

I feel sorry for both of them and hope that this can be done quietly and not become a media circus which would forever tarnish their name much like Hogan's divorce tarnished his.

Well, that quote seems to say otherwise.

But at least John Cena was smart enough to get a pre-nup. He should be able to avoid paying out, even if she drags him through the mud.

True but their Doomsday Device variation was really badly ****ed-up. Yoshi Tatsu really landed on his neck. Nobody wants to see another Darren Drozov.

Anyone who makes any kind of money NEEDS a pre-nup. I would most likely never marry again, but if I did, I would 100% have a pre-nup, and am very glad my soon-to-be-ex-wife suggested it last time round. I don't see them as negative, they create a framework that doesn't allow for the negativity in my mind. Cena was smart. As for the quote posted - very emotive and blaming, which is a shame - it's the end of a marital union, for which 2 people are ALWAYS to share responsibility.

Very VERY true!

lol loved those two... good to see wwe trying to revive the tag team division. Hopefully we get some 3 to 4 viable tag teams till summerslam.

I wish they could bring the Briscos in from ROH that would spice the division up!

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing.

Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps.
