WWE Offers New Statement On Sexual Assault Allegations Against Wrestlers

Several wrestlers have been accused of sexual assault recently, including WWE Superstar Matt Riddle. WWE had issued a statement then saying that they would look into the matter and conduct their own investigation. This new statement that was sent to Gary Cassidy from SportsKeeda is a more of a direct statement.

Upon arrest for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately suspended. Upon conviction for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately terminated.
