The South Africa wrestler, Adam Rose i.e, Raymond Leppan has been arrested on domestic violence charges.
According to the police report obtained by PWInsider, Leppan, and his wife were involved in an argument about the state of their marriage when he grabbed her face with his hands and pulled her close to his face as he screamed at her.
His wife dialed 911 from their home phone but Leppan took the phone from her to prevent her from reporting the incident. According to the arresting officers, Leppan admitted he took the phone from his wife.
Leppan grabbing the phone from his wife resulted in the tampering with a witness charge, which is a felony in the state of Florida.
The domestic battery charge is a misdemeanor, and Rose is still in jail with no bond.
As per the statement issued to Forbes by a WWE spokesperson, Rose has been suspended indefinitely. The statement issued read,
“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.”
Rose was already serving a 60-day suspension for violating WWE Wellness Policy, he claims to be wronged by WWE.

His second suspension comes while he is serving his first, which he feels was wrong in WWE's part. This indicates that the WWE wrestler will soon be kissing his WWE career goodbye.
