Former WWE Star Arrested for Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

A former WWE star was recently arrested for driving under the influence of drugs.

Last year, Buff Bagwell became well-known after supporting AEW star Nyla Rose and the LGBTQ+ community. He used Twitter a lot and gained many new fans because of his kind tweets and support for marginalized groups. However, it was later discovered that his social media account was actually managed by Michael Long, his social media manager, who eventually quit the job for different reasons.

Bagwell was active in 2001

After WCW closed down, Buff Bagwell agreed to join WWE and made a deal with them. However, his time there was short-lived. He had a match for the WCW World Title against Booker T on July 1, which he lost. Then, their second match on July 2 ended in a draw.

A week later, when Bagwell came to RAW, he was informed that the company had released him due to complaints about his actions. Two years ago, Bagwell appeared on a show called “Who The Fook Are These Guys?!” and criticized WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross, blaming him for being the reason behind his release.

”But if you had a guy that called you up and said, ‘don’t come to these shows’ and act like my mother called to get me out of them, now you’ve cost me millions of dollars and you’re a fu**ing liar. The facts are he called me up, told me to stay home,” Bagwell said.
