WWE UPDATES COMPANY POLICY ON DOMESTIC ABUSE

On the WWE Corporate site, they updated their "Talent Wellness" section to "Talent Programs and Policies".

They have added a "Professional Development Summary" section which I believe has been reported before.

They also added a new policy which I am not sure if it's more recent or been around for a while.

"WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault. Upon arrest for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately suspended. Upon conviction for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately terminated.

WWE’s ability to fine, suspend or terminate a WWE talent will not be, however, limited or compromised in any manner in the event incontrovertible evidence of such illegal misconduct is presented to WWE. Section 9.13(a) of the WWE booking contract, commonly known as the “morals clause”, provides WWE with broad discretion and authority to act under such circumstances."
