After initially posting a standard “parting ways” statement on WWE.com yesterday. World Wrestling Entertainment added:

As reported on WWE.com on Monday, June 8, 2009, WWE Superstar Umaga (Edward Fatu) has been released from his World Wrestling Entertainment contract. However, consistent with the practice of announcing wellness policy violations, it should be noted that Umaga’s termination was due to his second violation of the WWE Wellness Program and his subsequent refusal to attend a rehabilitation facility.

So let me understand this, the WWE told Umaga go to rehab or you’re fired.  Something doesn’t seem right, maybe Umaga wanted out of his contract because his decision seemed like a no-brainer.

There are also rumors floating around the internet that there are more that recently failed the Wellness Program.  Those names could possibly be released by the end of the week or early next week.
