* Police shot a man outside of the WWE Performance Centre this afternoon. The victim was known to WWE staff as someone who had an obsession with one of their female talents. It is not known who this refers to, but it is someone who does feature on television. He had been banned from all WWE events and venues. Police were called as soon as he was spotted outside. When police arrived on the scene, the man charged at them with a knife. He was shot once in order to subdue him. The victim is currently recovering in hospital, but his injuries are described as ‘potentially life-threatening’.
The man’s name has not been made public at this time. A police spokesperson and WWE Chief Operating Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque have both confirmed that the man is not a wrestler, and he has never been employed by or contracted with the WWE in any way. A number of WWE staff and performers are being questioned as part of the inquiries.
* TNA wrestler Thomas ‘Bram’ Latimer has been arrested on assault and unlawful imprisonment charges. Florida police were called to a disturbance at an address in Gulfport around 6am this morning. There they encountered Latimer and a woman who described herself as “his girlfriendâ€. It has already been confirmed that the woman is not Latimer’s wife, WWE Diva Charlotte.
It is alleged that Latimer followed the woman into a bedroom and locked her inside and refused to let her out. The report continues that Latimer pinned the woman to the bed by her throat. Both of these are serious charges. Latimer is currently being held in custody pending an investigation. TNA has already released a statement saying that Latimer has been suspended and removed from all future events until the investigation is finished. If Latimer is found guilty of either charge, his TNA contract will likely be terminated.
Latimer was arrested twice while he was under contract with the WWE. The first was for driving under the influence of alcohol in 2011. He was released after his second arrest in 2012, which involved disorderly intoxication and battery of a law enforcement officer.
* Dean Ambrose was almost assaulted on camera during a SmackDown taping on Saturday. The fan jumped the crowd barrier and charged at Ambrose. He did make contact, but was taken down by security before he could cause any harm. Ambrose was photographed by several fans laughing at his attacker as security apprehended him. However, dozens of witnesses have stated on social media that the attacker was brandishing a knife. This has not been confirmed and there has been no evidence of this so far.
This is not similar to an attack on Ambrose’s tag team partner Roman Reigns a month ago. In the middle of an untelevised No Disqualification match, a fan through a replica Money In The Bank briefcase at Reigns. The object struck Reigns in the back of the head. The fan was immediately removed from the building by security. The fan claimed that he was goaded on by others in the crowd. Reigns later commented that when the briefcase hit him, he believed that his opponent Bray Wyatt had struck him in the head with a kendo stick. He claimed that he was poised to attack Wyatt for real, but was then left bewildered when he saw the briefcase in the ring.
