@WWEWasimPerviz @WWE @JohnCena do you think that would be the same?

— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) May 12, 2016

@BotchWorldOrder @WWEWasimPerviz @WWE @JohnCena of course it is! I'm not talking about the crime, I'm talking about how it reflects

@BotchWorldOrder don't twist my words either, you understand EXACTLY what u was saying. We DO NOT tolerate this sort of behavior. Period!

@BotchWorldOrder good deal, sorry for my outburst. I don't want to be misunderstood on such a real issue

— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) May 12, 2016

@RiseCmp what does WWE have to do with his decision making skills? He's in a bad place in his life and all you're talking about is WWE.

— Brian G. James (@WWERoadDogg) May 12, 2016

@BotchWorldOrder he's in a negative place right now so my thoughts are with him AND his family.

@Jvillesfinest @WWEAdamRose agreed. I get caught up arguing with the WWE haters who overlook the real issue and that's my fault. Thank you

@caleb_smith08 @RiseCmp @WWE amen! First step is understanding and accepting your mistakes then trying to correct them

UPDATE x 2: Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed that Adam Rose has been released from jail following his court hearing on his domestic violence charge. The Hillsborough County Sheriff has confirmed that Rose was released at 4:10 PM ET.

UPDATE: Here is WWE’s full statement on Leppan’s arrest and suspension…

Raymond Leppan (a.k.a Adam Rose) arrested, suspended

TAMPA, Fla. — Raymond Leppan (a.k.a. WWE Superstar Adam Rose) was arrested at his home this morning by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Tampa, Fla.

According to a police report, Leppan was taken into custody and booked on alleged charges of tampering with a witness, a felony, and battery domestic violence, a misdemeanor. He is currently being held without bond.

WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, and per our policy, Raymond Leppan has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest.

ORIGINAL: According to TMZ, WWE’s Adam Rose (Ray Leppan) appeared in court on Thursday morning. Rose was arrested on Wednesday on charges of tampering with a witness and battery domestic violence. He was suspended indefinitely by WWE.

During the hearing, the judge wanted to issue a restraining order against Leppan, barring him from contact with his wife. It was also revealed that the couple had a previous domestic issue in March of 2016, and that the judge was concerned about a pattern of abusive behavior. Leppan’s wife begged the judge to reconsider, noting that she needed him to be home to help with the care of their special needs child. Rose’s lawyer also argued Leppan’s actions were “not aggressive or painful” but rather “more of a passionate, ‘Hey, let’s talk about this.’”

No restraining order was issued, and bond was set at $1,000. Leppan is expected to be out later today, and has been ordered to see his pastor for counseling once a week until his next court date in June.
