Sabula heckled Trump during a visit to the Ford plant on Jan. 14. In response, Trump reportedly flipped him off and mouthed expletives. Sabula has since been suspended but told the Washington Post that he has “no regrets whatsoever.”

Cornette, known for managing tag teams like The Midnight Express and hosting a popular wrestling podcast, has long criticized Trump. On X, he shared a video of the exchange and wrote:

“So Shitler visited the Ford plant—one of the workers called him a ‘pedophile protector.’ Shitler said ‘(Expletive) You’ and gave him the finger. We’re hearing the worker got suspended or fired. If anyone can hook me up with the REAL Ford worker, I have $5,000 for him as a thank-you.”
