Earlier this past week former NXT star Judas Devlin spoke out on Vedetta Pro Radia 2k15 podcast against WWE Developmental Trainer Bill DeMott. Devlin declared that he was a victim of DeMott’s bullying along with several other wrestlers. The allegations made by Devlin fall under two categories: Unnecessarily endangering wrestlers’ safety and physically and verbally abusing wrestlers using both racial and sexual slurs.
DeMott was in serious hot water when these allegations became known to the public. Apparently this isn’t a first as Triple H himself feels DeMott is a liability due to the many issues over the years. Triple H has wanted to reassign DeMott ever since he took over developmental, but DeMott has always had Vince McMahon’s support. Recently, however, McMahon has started to see DeMott as a liability and is leaving everything up to Triple H to deal with.
This past Friday it was announced that DeMott had stepped down from his position effective immediately. The announcement was made by DeMott himself when he tweeted “I deny the recent allegations made about me, however, to avoid any embarrassment or damage to the WWE, I’ve decided to step down from my role effective immediately.” This is a step forward for the WWE in this situation but the damage has already been done.
Another allegation was made public against DeMott, this time focusing on the female talent in developmental. The speaker of this allegation could not make their identity known due to fear of losing their job. The accuser states that the former Divas who have stepped forward and spoken up about sexual harassment would find themselves getting the boot from DeMott the next day, because they’re expendable. The anonymous speaker backs up the allegations made by Devlin and states that this isn’t just a vendetta from a bitter wrestler.
