Dave Hebner, brother of former WWE referee, Earl Hebner, who was fired from WWE on Monday, was released from World Wrestling Entertainment yesterday. Hebner who, like his brother, was apart of WWE for almost 20 years was originally reported to have been released with his brother on Monday over allegations that Earl was selling WWE merchandise on his own.

The release rumors of Dave were false as he was suspended and then released yesterday. Obviously one can speculate that it has to do with his brother's termination but no official reason has been given as of yet. We will continue to follow these two breaking stories here on WrestleView.com
