Jack Gallagher

Jack Gallagher is no longer under contract with WWE. 

PWInsider.com reported that Gallagher was released on Friday. WWE announced the news via a statement, which you can read here: 

“WWE has come to terms on the release of Jack Gallagher (Jack Claffey).”

This comes after a story about him surfaced as part of the #SpeakingOut Movement. He joins a few names including Jordan Devlin, Ligero, Dave Lagana, Joe Coffey, Jim Cornette and his wife Stacey.

A woman named Becky came out alleging the WWE Superstar got her drunk on New Years’ Eve in 2014 after he poured straight spirits into her glass. This is when he allegedly made unwanted advances and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

In her accusation, she claimed to have resisted his advances, but when she tried to push him off, he grabbed onto her. As a result, he hanged onto her skirt that caused it to rip. She left the party after that.

Gallagher earned a place in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic in 2016, but was eliminated from the tournament by Akira Tozawa in his second-round match.

Gallagher later worked in the Cruiserweight division and on its weekly television show, 205 Live.
