Adam Rose Speaks Out On WWE Suspension
We’ve got a huge update on Ryback walking out of the WWE coming up, but first, Adam Rose has finally followed up on his shocking public statement about his Wellness Policy violation in April.
To catch you up, Social Outcasts member Adam Rose was suspended for 60 days by the WWE on the 20th April for a second violation of their Wellness Policy. When these sorts of things usually happen, the suspended wrestlers lie low until their punishment is over. See: O’Neil, Titus. But, as we’ll see in our top story today, speaking out against the WWE machine is now becoming the norm.
A few days after the suspension announcement, Rose posted a long message on Twitter about how he hadn’t done anything knowingly wrong and he’d soon follow up with a statement from his “shocked and appalled” personal doctor.
Now, two weeks later, Rose has finally posted Dr Charles DeVine’s letter on the Twitter, which explains Adam has “chronic signs and symptoms of ADHD” for which he takes “Adderall XR, which is an FDA-approved treatment.” The letter goes on to say, “we have followed all standard of care protocols during his treatment, which has gone very well. He takes his medication as prescribed and he is compliant with my treatment recommendations.”
A fan replied to Rose on Twitter asking why he didn’t go to the WWE doctors immediately for permission when he was first prescribed Adderall. Rose responded that “they knew about it for over a year.”
WWE Edits Anti-Roman Payback Photos
WWE might not be able to control controversial social media posts from their currently contracted wrestlers, but they can control what appears on their ridiculously hard to navigate new website.
You might have noticed at the Payback main event between Roman Reigns and AJ Styles that one fan was holding a sign that said “When it Reigns, it bores.” That’s a solid, two-point pun.
But WWE didn’t feel that way. As Richy Wilson on Twitter pointed out, their website’s photo gallery of the match has the “it bores” part of the sign digitally erased, so it only reads, “When it Reigns.”
