• A WWE Wrestler May Land In Hot Water Due To Abuse Allegations
A WWE wrestler is being alleged of abusing a woman named Hannah Francesca. The wrestler hasn’t been named yet, but the woman says he has ‘WWE money’, and by the look of things, it looks like the person belongs to WWE’s NXT UK division.
David Starr was stripped of Titles by 3 promotions after he was accused of rape by his ex-girlfriend, and now Hannah Francesca is frustrated because she feels that OTT Wrestling is in danger of “putting another abuser in Starr’s place.”
You can check out the tweets below:
My head is full. But my abuser is now tweeting about @OTT_wrestling vacating their championship. You're in danger of putting another abuser right in Starr's place ??♀️

To the promotions, wrestlers and fans staying silent. I hear you. To the abusers tweeting their support. I see you.

This is absolutely right. The boys club mentality makes it even harder for victims to speak out. I approached a promotion about being abused by someone on their card and was told "One of my boys wouldn't do that" I didn't talk about what happened to me for a long time after ??♀️

I absolutely understand your intent here. But I'm not going to be sued by a man with a lot of power and WWE money. It's a lot more complicated than just naming and shaming ? https://t.co/ILMHwyKI3z

I was also told to reach out to my abuser as the whole thing might just be a "misunderstanding" ??♀️ Promoters…..educate yourself. Don't gaslight your fans or talent.

NXT UK wrestler Piper Niven tweeted in support for Hannah, and her tweet hints that the accused wrestler has abused many women, including some of the women a part of the NXT UK division.
