WWE wrestler dismissed for allegedly disrespecting the U.S. national anthem during a live broadcast

Fit Finlay’s Unexpected Firing and Eventual Redemption: A Professional Retrospective

In the world of professional wrestling, careers often hinge on both in-ring prowess and behind-the-scenes decisions.

Few stories highlight this duality as starkly as that of David John “Fit” Finlay, the Northern Irish wrestler whose unexpected firing from World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2011 had little to do with his ring performance. Instead, a single creative misstep—interrupting the U.S. national anthem during a house show—led to his dismissal. Yet, Finlay’s journey also illustrates the resilience of a performer who, after weathering a storm of controversy, found his way back to the company he had long called home. This is a comprehensive account of Finlay’s wrestling background, the circumstances surrounding his dismissal, and how he ultimately reclaimed his standing in WWE
