Following the recent reports of abusive behavior against NXT Trainer Bill DeMott, more wrestlers are speaking out. Two letters from former WWE developmental talents have leaked, and the WWE’s official statement on the situation was as follows…
“WWE took the accusations made two years ago by Austin Matelson very seriously, conducted a full investigation and was unable to validate the claims. Regardless, WWE continues to reinforce policies and procedures to ensure a positive training environment.”
Ryan Nemeth (the younger brother of Dolph Ziggler) competed as Briley Pierce while under a WWE developmental deal also responded. The letter former developmental talent Austin Matelson released earlier this week included an allegation of DeMott kicking Nemeth in his medical boot while he was out of action with a broken leg. Nemeth wrote the following…
(In 2 years I have still not been questioned once about my part in that poor guy's letter. That is the opposite of a "full investigation.")

TNA’s Ethan Carter III, who spent time in WWE Developmental as Derek Bateman, posted the following about the situation on Twitter in what appeared to be a response to Chris Jericho…
I love/sacrificed for pro wrestling.
A Hart can stretch me any day.
A know nothing dipshit slapping me when I'm concussed is different.
