“This Behavior Is Intolerable”: AEW Released an Immediate Statement on Former ROH Champion’s Arrest on Domestic Violence Charges

AEW, the budding company in the professional wrestling world has always been very strict when it comes to its image. There is no place for apologies in Tony Khan’s world for wrong deeds. And he has proved it once again by firing a 45-year-old former ROH champion who was arrested for domestic violence.

The former champion is none other than the AEW producer (ex-producer now) BJ Whitmer. Whitmer didn’t just get the punishment from the state, but from AEW as well for his actions.

The former ROH champion faced the rage of AEW

Recently, the former ROH champion, BJ Whitmer got arrested in Boone County, Kentucky. And the reason behind that was the domestic violence. As soon as this report came out the AEW took immediate action and terminated his contract.

The company shared this news via tweet writing that even though the talent and staff themselves are responsible for their personal actions, still there is no way that AEW would ever unsee a behavior like this.

“B.J. Whitmer has been terminated following his arrest on domestic violence charges.  While talent and staff are ultimately responsible for their own personal actions, this behavior is intolerable within AEW.  AEW has reached out to offer support to those impacted by his behavior.”, AEW’s official Twitter account stated.

This tweet has put the stamp on BJ Whitmer’s departure from Tony Khan’s company as the owner surely doesn’t want more negative light after locker room drama related to CM Punk.
