WWE announces new policy regarding domestic violence

WWE launches new policy concerning domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse

PWInsider.com is reporting that WWE's corporate website has posted a new policy in regards to how the company deals with issues involving not only domestic violence, but also sexual assault and child abuse.

The company has updated their "Talent Wellness" section to now read "Talent Programs and Policies," and states the following:

"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."
