Recently released WWE star Mickie James took to social media to reveal that the company has returned items belonging, packing them in a garbage bag:

That led to another former WWE star Maria Kanellis, now with Ring of Honor, commenting that the same happened to her last year:
Last year I got one too. ???? https://t.co/LraFKUWWGo

This led to #MickieJamesdeservedbetter" trending on Twitter.
Triple H later responded on Twitter, writing:

Meanwhile, James' husband, NWA Champion Nick Aldis, tweeted the following:
I got home from the gym and there's a second FedEx box from WWE on the doorstep. What do I do?
