Hendrix worked for Ring of Honor back in 2011 and then returned to the company between 2015 and 2017 before announcing her departure last year.

We take these matters very seriously and will be investigating this situation thoroughly, reviewing all evidence related to the matter.

We will take appropriate action upon the conclusion of our findings."
