WWE Superstar Adam Rose, real name Ray Leppan, went before a Hillsborough County judge this morning, although surprisingly his wife came to his defense when the judge tried to put a restraining order on Leppan to keep him away from her, according to a TMZ report.
It was his wife who originally called the police and which got him charged with Tampering With a Witness and Battery Domestic Violence. Leppan already has abusive behavior against his wife dating back to March, although the judge was begged by his wife to not give him a restraining order as they have a special needs child.
Leppan's lawyer is arguing that his actions were “not aggressive or painful” but “more of a passionate, ‘Hey, let’s talk about this'” situation.
The judge ended up reconsidering and a bond of $1,000 was eventually settled upon. Leppan has been ordered to see his pastor once a week for counseling. His next court date will be in June.
He's currently suspended indefinitely from WWE.
The Hillsborough County sheriff website has not updated to show that bond yet but Rose could be out by the end of today. He was ordered to see his pastor once a week for counseling. His next court date is in June.
