As the Senior Director of Talent Relations, Carrano is directly involved in dealing with all issues the WWE talent have, especially after they leave the company. As such, he would have been directly responsible for the situation surrounding Mickie James.

Many important figures in the wrestling community have come out in support of James, with figures like Gail Kim, CM Punk, Maria Kanellis, and Chris Jericho responding to her Twitter post.

Stephanie McMahon and Triple H issue public apologies to Mickie James

Following Mickie James' shocking revelation, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were quick to issue public apologies on Twitter. Both apologized profusely for this gross misconduct, and informed the former WWE Superstar that the person responsible (Mark Carrano) has been let go.

Upon learning of the disrespectful treatment some of our recently released talent received on behalf of the company, we took immediate action. The person responsible for this inconsiderate action has been fired and is no longer with @WWE.

However, the short-sightedness has left a sour taste in many people's mouths. Many former employees came out and confirmed that they've been on the receiving end of similar treatment.

Others called the company to issue an apology to every star who has been released and treated in a similar fashion. While this is unconventional, we can only hope that this is a one-off incident and will not be repeated.
