5 Rumors that came true this week - WWE Superstar suffers serious injury, 18-year veteran rehired, Plan for Matt Riddle and more

#2 WWE called for an emergency meeting following the #SpeakingOut movement and the allegations against its Superstars

The #SpeakingOut movement has rocked the professional wrestling industry to its core. Various female wrestlers have taken to social media to reveal their horrific experiences - ranging from sexual harassment, physical, mental and physical abuse, predatory behavior, and many other serious allegations.

While many wrestlers from the UK wrestling circuit have been accused, there are also a handful of WWE Superstars who were subject to allegations. Matt Riddle, Jordan Devlin, Gentleman Jack Gallagher, and Ligero are the notable names on the list.

As revealed by Tom Colohue, WWE called for an emergency meeting immediately after the allegations were leveled against some of its talents and Tom specifically noted that the only thing that could be expected from the meeting were official statements. Officials statements were exactly what the WWE put out following the widespread attention that the movement had garnered.

WWE initially released brief statements that addressed the allegations regarding only particular talents. The company would later release a full statement in which they promised strict action against the Superstars who would be found guilty.

Jack Gallagher has already been released from WWE, and the fate of the other accused Superstars is still up in the air.

Matt Riddle, Jordan Devlin, and Ligero have all released statements, denying the alleged allegations before revealing that they would take legal action.
