Ex-WWE Star Amale Addresses Suspension from Promotions After Speaking Out Against Alleged Abuser

Former WWE NXT UK talent Amale has made serious allegations against fellow wrestler Tristan Archer, accusing him of physical, psychological, and emotional abuse. Following these allegations, it has been reported that both Amale and Archer have been suspended by various wrestling promotions. Amale has since released a statement addressing the situation.

In her statement, Amale detailed the abuse she endured, which included Archer humiliating her, undermining her confidence, and making threats against her and her family. She also described how the abuse escalated to physical violence, including an incident where Archer allegedly attacked a friend who tried to defend her. Despite Archer’s apologies, Amale claimed that his abusive behavior continued, involving harassment and attempts to harm her career.

Following the allegations, six European wrestling promotions—BZW, CACC, APC Catch, La Bagarre, WPE, and Rixe—issued a joint statement suspending both Tristan Archer and Amale.

Amale responded to the situation in a statement to Fightful, addressing several issues with the joint statement. She explained that she had tried to resolve the matter internally with various companies and individuals but faced disbelief and pressure to keep it private. She said that in France, she was asked for “proof” of her allegations, which she provided to law enforcement but not publicly, as she did not want to jeopardize her evidence.

Amale pointed out that most of the companies involved in the statement have not worked with her recently, or at all, and questioned the need for them to publicly announce her suspension. She criticized the promotions for supporting Archer despite other colleagues and fans speaking out against him and noted that she was the only one allegedly suspended.

Amale also mentioned that none of these companies contacted her directly before making their statements and that many are managed or booked by Archer. Amale clarified that her actions are not about securing bookings but about creating a safe environment and encouraging better behavior from wrestlers. She emphasized that leaders should stop ignoring inappropriate actions by their talent.

“There are several issues with this statement. Firstly, I have attempted to address the situation internally, with companies, individuals, and women. Unfortunately, in France, nobody believed me and instead pressured me to keep the matter internal. They all demanded ‘proof’ of my accusations, claiming it was illegal to unbook him without evidence. In Indy Wrestling, where there are no contracts, there is no barrier to unbooking someone. It seemed that their priority was to protect him. I do possess evidence supporting everything I have stated. However, these proofs are solely intended for law enforcement, as I have provided them with all the necessary information. I would never risk compromising my evidence by placing it in the wrong hands.

“The individuals who requested proof of Tristan’s actions are the same individuals who authored the statement. I want to highlight that I have not worked for most of these companies, including BZW (which typically does not book women), CACC, La Bagarre, and have only had one engagement with WPE. I have not been associated with Rixe or APC for several months or years, and I did not have any upcoming bookings with these companies. Therefore, I fail to see the necessity for them to publicly announce that they will not be working with me in the future, as I am not currently engaged with them. 

“This only demonstrates their support for him, despite numerous other colleagues and fans speaking out against him and providing testimony of his behaviour, implicating him in legal proceedings. And yet I am the only one how have been « suspended » apparently. Are we ALL liars? This is discriminating, illogical and may deter women from coming forward in the future. Furthermore, none of these companies reached out to me directly; they all consulted with Tristan before issuing their public statement. It is important to note that Tristan is either the booker or closely associated with the management of most of these promotions. 

“I would like to clarify that my actions are not motivated by a desire to secure bookings. I do not feel prepared to return to France in the near future and have even canceled my upcoming booking there. I appreciate the understanding of the promoter in this regard (please show your support for them, Catch Prod). My primary goal is to create a safe environment for everyone and encourage individuals to behave more decently. It is essential for leaders to stop turning a blind eye to the actions of their wrestlers.”

It was also reported that Tristan Archer has lost multiple bookings in light of the allegations. Nonetheless, we will have to wait and see whether proper action will be taken against Tristan Archer for his alleged acts and Amale’s suspension will be withdrawn, as fans feel there was no reason for her suspension whatsoever.
