John Laurinaitis, the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, who's pretty much in charge of hiring and firing.

THE DEVIL. Just kidding. He's the Executive Vice President of Talent Relations for the WWE. His real name is John Laurinaitis, he wrestled under the name Johnny Ace.

If I got very badly drunk in public next month at my manager's meeting, there is a very strong chance I would be fired or be put on final warning too.
She was representing the company out there. Gone are the days when the guys would go to a bar after the show, and usually end up in a fight because everybody drank too much.

WHY?? The Bella Twins and Rosa Mendes only show up backstage and are pretty much a waste of money. Serena could have been a few months of hair growing away from a Mickie James like face turn. Now The SES is a sausage fest again, maybe Luke will deliver his erotic massages more often.

Not only that they probably told her specifically not to drank in public. Now regardless of whether or not we think it's stupid (which i do), if they specifically told her not to and she ignored them then it was justified imo. I really think it sucks because i liked her and wanted to see her succeed.

This could also be another Daniel Bryan situation, where perhaps a sponsor either saw her that drunk or heard about it, and then when it all blows over she will be rehired. I'm sure she won't be burning that WWE bridge just yet.

So she's willing to shave her head for the gimmick, but she can't give public intoxication a break until her SES run is over? Weird.

You guys are pretty ridiculous. Seriously it's no loss at all. She didn't do anything that any other chick couldn't have done, she was mostly useless. Not much talent, zero mic skills and an IWC look.

Not much talent, zero mic skills and an IWC look. So basically pretty much the same as Eve, Kelly Kelly, the Bellas, Rose Mendes and Alicia Fox yet they seem to remain employed... Serena at least had an interesting character and a unique look. Her drinking and not been straight edge could easily have expanded her character more and made her more interesting if done right.

You ahr nahthink but a Gobbledy Gooker cheepcheepcheepcheepcheep! You are a lying I niver released you! YOUR TEARING ME APART SERENA! A The Room reference completely out of the blue. I love this place. It's a shame for Serena but if they told her not to drink in public and then she did she's got no one to blame but herself.

Meh, she wasnt attractive, she didnt show she could do much while there (granted she may be awesome in ring, but we never got to see it), she added nothing to the storyline and looked pretty lost when she was out there.
I'm sorry someone lost their job, but if this is true a) she has no one to blame but herself and b) I doubt I shall even notice she is gone.
As for the 'why haven't they released Tiffany yet' stuff - she has to go to court and such, if she is guilty, then they will likely fire her. If, however, she gets off, then they would look funny having let her go, and she would likely have a law suit against them, especially in the weird American legal system that seems to let people sue for the sake of suing.

So what if Serena was talented & had potential? That isn't the issue. She got shitfaced in public while sponsoring the company and they canned her for it. Seems fair to me. You can have all the talent in the world, but when you do stuff that is against company policy you are going to get punished.

Maria Kanellis went on a rant on Twitter about the release, accusing WWE of sexism, but pulled it when someone said to her that WWE.com haven't confirmed it.
