WWE took more action today in the wake of #SpeakingOut allegations. Now Joe Coffey has been suspended. Two NXT UK referees were fired as well.

According to PW Insider, NXT UK referee Joel Allen has been fired from the company. F4WOnline then reported that Joe Coffey has been suspended. Referee Chris Roberts was also fired.

It was noted that all of the actions taken today were due to allegations as part of the #SpeakingOut movement. Other recent releases included Ligero, Travis Banks, and Jack Gallagher.

WWE told their NXT UK roster during a conference call to be ready. It’s not clear when the NXT UK roster’s wrestling drought will end, but it is supposedly coming soon.

I love pro wrestling and hate BS. These two things drive me. Years of experience in writing, journalism, and digging exclusive insider info for Ringside News. Worked in finance before realizing pro wrestling journalism made much less sense. Pro beachballs at pro wrestling shows, pro dives if someone catches, anti bullies, olives, and pineapples on pizza.
