WELL WELL.. The WWE FINALLY Decides It Wants To Do Something And Fires Both Travis Banks & El Ligero
While WWE hasn't gathered the guts to officially announce Banks' release Or El Ligero's release, They have removed both from the NXT UK roster page of their website.
Last week, Banks was accused by wrestler Millie McKenzie of numerous acts of wrongdoing while he was her trainer, including engaging in a relationship with her while she was under 18. McKenzie stated that as her trainer, Banks abused his position of trust.
Banks responded last week via Twitter, writing:
Ligero was accused of harassment and wrongdoing by several female wrestlers in Great Britain as part of the #SpeakingOut movement. Wrestler Violet O’Hara/Claire-Michelle Oldfield stated in an Twitter post that Liger had "indecently assaulted" her after she allowed him to lay in her bed when he was let into a hotel room she was sharing with others.
He responded to those accusations before deleting his Twitter account. In the now-deleted response, Ligero wrote, "The current story that has been released by Violet O’Hara/Claire-Michelle Oldfield is neither accurate nor true. This is a completely false allegation and whilst I’ve done other things in my life that I deeply regret, this isn’t an accurate or truthful portrayal of events. This is something I strongly deny and is something I’ve been in the process of speaking to a legal team about. Regarding the other statements from people like Laura, Natalie who have spoken out about the way they were made to feel, and others that have come forward about unwanted messages, I have no excuse. It’s inappropriate, it’s an embarrassment and it’s an absolute shameful way to act from someone in a position of trust. I sincerely apologise for my actions and any hurt I’ve caused. I have no justification of my actions in the slightest. In these situations, I have failed people as a friend, as a fiancĂ©e and as a decent human being."
If the story isn't true, then why was he so quick to delete his Twitter account? Makes you go, HHMMMM. Innocent people don't do that so what is he really trying to hide?

Backstage Fight w/ Elgin & Callihan Reportedly Happens At Recent Impact Tapings, Elgin Fired From Impact
Michael Elgin and Sami Callihan were reportedly involved in a physical altercation backstage at the recent Impact Wrestling TV tapings in Nashville.
Elgin and Callihan were reportedly setting up a match that also involved Ken Shamrock when the incident occurred, according to Fightful Select. The two reportedly disagreed on how the match should start, and the disagreement escalated to where they ended up fighting.
Impact Co-Executive Vice President Scott D'Amore reportedly stepped in and broke the fight up.
Impact announced that they had suspended Elgin while "#SpeakingOut" allegations against him were investigated. Impact issued a statement to confirm that Elgin will not be appearing in any further Impact programming. The statement reads like this:
"Impact Wrestling announced that Michael Elgin will not be appearing in any further Impact Wrestling programming."
Word is that Elgin is done in Impact. He has been removed from the Impact website roster, and all of his merchandise has been pulled from the Shop Impact website. Impact officials reportedly informed Elgin of their decision earlier today.
There's no word yet on what Elgin's departure means for the Slammiversary main event set for the July 18 pay-per-view. Impact announced on Thursday that Tessa Blanchard had been released and stripped of the World Title, which left Elgin vs. Trey Miguel vs. Ace Austin vs. Eddie Edwards in a Fatal 4 Way. Now it's believed that other opponents will be added to Miguel vs. Austin vs. Edwards, which will be to crown the new Impact World Champion at Slammiversary.
Impact will not be able to use any pre-Slammiversary footage they had shot with Elgin, and are reportedly working on how they will reconfigure upcoming Impact TV episodes for the build to Slammiversary. They do not have any TV tapings scheduled in the lead up to Slammiversary, but they are weighing their options based on other content taped, and possibly filming new material remotely.
Michael Elgin took to Instagram this afternoon and issued a statement after it was reported that Impact Wrestling was parting ways with him following accusations coming out of the "#SpeakingOut" movement on social media.
