As noted, Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan were fired in the WWE storylines by The The Authority on last night's RAW. Ziggler wrote the following on Twitter today:

"it's the same old situation ... the authority is back, again. I'm sorry. to all the hard working superstars that spend 300 nights a year on the road, entertaining the fans the only way they know how, by giving them everything they can! I'm sorry. I've done absolutely everything in my power to not only deliver every night, but improve my unique skill set, daily. In any other job that would be rewarded, certainly not frowned upon. I may be out of new york, but I have a lot of connections in LA. I will see you all again soon & know that I miss THIS more than anything in the world, ANYTHING! but you don't know what's best for you, THEY do. then again, THEY probably think 4/10 is as good as it gets... same old ball and chain."
