On Thursday, WWE announced they are indefinitely suspending NXT developmental talent Terrance Jean-Jacques following his arrest this past Sunday in Haverill, MA, on charges of assault and battery, kidnapping, witness intimidation, destruction of property, and threatening to commit a crime.

The alleged victim is his pregnant girlfriend, Jillian Gilman.

WWE released the following statement to F4WOnline.com:

“We have zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, and per our policy, Terrance Jean-Jacques has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest.”

The 24-year-old Jean-Jacques was signed by WWE in April after a decorated run in amateur wrestling at Rhode Island College and the University of Iowa.

During the proceedings, a judge denied a request from Jean-Jacques' mother to release him into her and his father's custody as he's scheduled for surgery this week. Jean-Jacques is currently being held without bail and is expected to be in court Tuesday for a dangerousness hearing.

Led by Stephanie McMahon, WWE changed their domestic violence policy in the fall of 2014.

Does this type of suspension only get signed off, after a slap from Steph?

Why should I, or do you not want to see the process followed?

You can't beat up on a pregnant woman without consequences. Having said that, they shouldn't release him until it's been proven in court that he did so. Innocent until proven guilty.

 

[Lo-Co]

He's gone.


Maybe.

How long has he had this deal?

They should record when they give him the boot

I have no faith in the system when it comes to crimes against women. Time and time again, the American criminal justice system has established that women's lives are cheap. The lives of their children even more so.
