One NXT UK STAR SUSPENDED AND ANOTHER ONE FIRED

NXT UK star Joe Coffey has been suspended by World Wrestling Entertainment, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

Coffey was the subject of online allegations of improprieties against a woman, who made the claims anonymously over the last week as part of the #speakingout movement.

WWE sources declined to comment further beyond acknowledging the suspension.




Multiple sources have confirmed that NXT UK referee Joel Allen was released over the weekend by WWE.  Allen was seen in a video leaked by an ex-girlfriend of independent talent David Starr after Starr was accused of some serious allegations, which is believed to have led to Allen's release. 

Allen follows the releases of NXT UK stars El Ligero, Travis Banks and former 205 Live star Jack Gallagher in the wake of the #speakingout movement online.

Talents were also made clear that any future allegations against talent will be taken seriously by the company and that WWE would be taking an extremely hard-line stance against them.   That falls in line with what many news outlets have heard over the last week, which is that the company won't tolerate any future issues and will be very quick to release and suspend talents and even revoke potential new deals from talents should anything come up.
