L’annonceur Mauro Ranallo a confirmé à Newsweek, par courriel, qu’il a officiellement quitté la WWE.
Ranallo a ajouté que son départ n’est pas lié à JBL.
“WWE and I have mutually agreed to part ways. It has nothing to do with JBL.”
La WWE a répliqué en soutenant – en concordance avec son programme Be a STAR – qu’elle enquête sur les allégations faites à l’endroit de JBL, accusé de faire de l’intimidation (notamment auprès de Ranallo) dans les coulisses.
“As part of our commitment to creating an inclusive environment, in April 2011, WWE launched our anti-bullying campaign, Be a STAR, which encourages young people to treat each other with tolerance and respect.
“As a publicly traded company, that mantra carries forward in our corporate culture. As such, we fully investigate any allegations of inappropriate behavior including the recent alleged situation with John Layfield (aka JBL), despite no formal complaint having been submitted.”
JBL a par ailleurs admis à Newsweek qu’il a joué certains tours à des collègues. Il ajoute qu’il a répondu aux questions de la WWE, affirmant que certaines rumeurs à son sujet sont non fondées.
“Admittedly, I took part in locker room pranks that existed within the industry years ago. WWE addressed my behavior and I responded accordingly, yet my past is being brought up because of recent unfounded rumors. I apologize if anything I said playing ‘the bad guy’ on a TV show was misconstrued.”
