WWE has a zero tolerance policy.

Specifically:

quote:

WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault. Upon arrest for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately suspended. Upon conviction for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately terminated. WWE’s ability to fine, suspend or terminate a WWE talent will not be, however, limited or compromised in any manner in the event incontrovertible evidence of such illegal misconduct is presented to WWE. Section 9.13(a) of the WWE booking contract, commonly known as the “morals clause”, provides WWE with broad discretion and authority to act under such circumstances.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values

Something Awful, so easy even a spaceman can do it!


Two witnesses saw him put her in a headlock and drag her back tin the car. Yes, if she was drunk wrestling or if she has a history of being the aggressor, that is bad but it does not excuse him doing what he did.

Swann will be fired. I am guessing that if he can plead his case effectively and he makes the right moves outside of WWE, they could bring him back down the road.

Hopefully, they can both get counseling and help to deal with their problems.

Doesn't matter. It's still abuse. Swann should (and probably will) be fired over this.

If I recall correctly, it wasn't the whole wellness violation that got Adam Rose fired but the fact that he got charged with domestic violence against his wife. I can't see Swann surviving either.

This will rip Florida Wrestling apart most likely. Already there's people saying that Su would often threaten to do something like this if Rich ever said he's leaving her

Very crafty of her to force Rich to put her in a headlock and forcibly drag her in a car with multiple witnesses. What a worker!

Swann is probably my least favorite promo in the whole company. His inflection sounds exactly like a jr high student reading a script for a school project.

Looks like Alicia Fox dodged a bullet. Hopefully she tells her friend Nia not to date cruiserweights.

When you whip somebody into the ropes and lay down when he is bouncing back, he has to jump over you. He just can't help it, it's instinct. Maybe Su found a secret magic move where a true worker's instincts have him do a headlock in response.
