Amale Issues Statement On Being Suspended By Several Promotions

Amale has responded to her suspension by several promotions in France, noting she has several issues with the situation.

Amale's suspension was introduced after she accused Tristan Archer of physically, psychologically, and emotionally abusing her for several years. Six European promotions issued a joint statement following the accusations in which they suspended both Tristan Archer and Amale. The promotions in question were BZW, CACC, APC Catch, La Bagarre, WPE, and Rixe.

CACC has since claimed to Fightful's Corey Brennan they have not suspended Amale as they have not worked with her previously. Amale has also issued the following statement to Fightful about the situation:

"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."

Amale was previously a part of WWE NXT UK. She has remained active on the European independent wrestling scene since her WWE release in 2022.

Tristan Archer previously wrestled for WWE in the Cruiserweight Classic along with two NXT UK matches. Prior to the allegations, he was a featured performer on the European independent wrestling scene.
