John Laurinaitis' first public appearance since being fired from WWE has been canceled.

Bobby Fulton announced yesterday that Laurinaitis would take part in a Big Time Collectibles event in Los Angeles over WrestleMania Weekend. Less than 24 hours later, Fulton revealed that Big Time Collectibles will no longer be working with Laurinaitis due to negative feedback they have received.

Fulton wrote:

Yesterday we announced John Laurinaitis would be doing an appearance with Big Time Collectibles. Upon announcement we received only negative feedback. After much consideration we have decided to not work with him. We apologize to those that were offended by us working with him.

Yesterday, Fulton announced Laurinaitis for the event, writing "John 'Johnny Ace' Laurinaitis will be making his first ever appearance WrestleMania Weekend in LA, courtesy of Big Time Collectibles! More info coming soon!"

Laurinaitis was released from WWE in August following allegations of misconduct in a Wall Street Journal article. He had been with the company since 2001.
