It hadn’t been a very good weekend for WWE Superstar Bo Dallas when he was kicked out of a flight from Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to Mexico for being intoxicated. He had behaved improperly on the flight and hurled abuses at the pilot and other passengers when the former came to calm him down. He had reportedly been drinking at the airport bar with Charlotte and the Usos prior to his flight.
After his eviction from the flight, the officers went on to search for Bo and later escorted him away from the terminal. The superstar was also reported to have wandered off when the airport staff tried to book a later flight for him. It was not known at that time if he was arrested but Dallas Airport Police have recently confirmed that he was indeed arrested on Friday night.
When officers approached Bo, whose real name is Taylor Rotunda, he was slumped over in a chair looking at his phone. When he got up, Dallas was reported to have demonstrated very poor dexterity including him dropping his phone. The report also says he strongly smelled of alcohol.
Rotunda told officers he had been drinking and when they asked how much, he said, “I’m not really planning on driving tonight.” Based on their observations, officers determined his level of intoxication was a danger to himself and others. So they placed him under arrest.
Earlier during the weekend, Steven Bell from the Late shift Podcast tweeted saying that Bo Dallas was drunk in the flight. He also claimed that he was on the phone with his wife when he heard the wrestler singing The Lion King’s “Circle of Life” opening in the terminal. In his drunken state, Bo had bad-mouthed the pilot and told him to go f**k himself. He had also called Seth Rollins a d*ck.
The WWE has not issued a statement on the arrest yet and it would be interesting to see how WWE react to this incident. Keeping in mind the suspension spree the company has been in, Dallas may be looking at a good time away from the company, which is bad news for all the Bo-lievers out there. The 26-year-old former NXT champion hasn’t made much progress on the main roster yet since moving up from NXT.
He had been drafted to the Raw roster during the brand extension and draft. He was drafted in the 10th round and was the 50th overall pick.
