World Wrestling Entertainment announced this afternoon that Orlando Jordan had been released by the company.
There had been some within the company expecting the release as Jordan was scheduled to wrestle Tatanka at this past Tuesday’s Smackdown taping in Bakersfield, California but was pulled out of a pre-show meeting and sent from the building by WWE officials.
The word going around at the taping was that Jordan had extremely upset WWE officials, including Vince McMahon, for having an unauthorized person on the road with him and backstage at events.
