Satin reports that it's unclear what led to Anderson being released by the company.

Anderson was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of the Four Horsemen. While he mainly worked backstage as an agent/producer, he has made appearances on WWE television over the years. He appeared in an August 2017 episode of SmackDown as part of a Fashion Files sketch alongside Tyler Breeze and Fandango.
