Yeah, I read last night WWE released him after he refused to go to rehab after his second violation of their wellness policy.

No, that was Rikishi.
Yeah. Umaga was the one who had the match with Lashley a few years ago at WrestleMania, in the "Bald Billionaires" match that Austin was the special ref of. When he dropped a stunner on Donald Trump. 
Classic Austin
