Gentleman Jack Gallagher wasn't the only WWE Superstar whose career came to an end courtesy the Speaking Out movement. Around the same time, New Zealand pro-wrestler Travis Banks was also on the receiving end of some serious allegations.

His first WWE match was at WrestleMania Axxess in 2017, in a losing effort against Mustafa Ali and Rich Swann. Banks teamed up with TK Cooper in his first WWE outing. He later took part in the second United Kingdom Championship Tournament. He managed to reach the finals of the tournament but was defeated by Zack Gibson in the end.
Banks was accused by a female wrestler named Millie McKenzie a short while ago. WWE released Banks on June 26, and he was entirely removed from the official website as well. John Pollock of Post Wrestling confirmed the same on social media and stated that Travis Banks had been released by WWE. Banks went on to release a statement on Twitter, but it didn't help his case one bit.

Abhilash Mendhe is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda with nearly five years of experience. He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
