The members of Gallus were arrested after the main event of NXT 2.0 and have been suspended indefinitely!

Former NXT UK Tag Team Champions Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen have been targeted by Gallus since the Scottish stars arrived in NXT 2.0, and in the main event of the most recent episode, Briggs and Jensen took on Wolfgang and Mark Coffey in a Pub Rules Match.

Earlier in the night, the two teams were involved in a backstage brawl, and Joe Coffey punched a security guard who was attempting to break up the melee. As a result, he was banned from ringside during the main event.

The Pub Rules Match was full of chaos featuring leather straps, smashing glasses, and Mark Coffey stuffed in a trash can. While Joe Coffey eventually did come down to attempt to aid his team, in the end, Briggs and Jensen picked up the victory. Enraged, Gallus moved to attack their foes, and security tried to hold them back.

Despite the best efforts of the security guards at ringside, the three men wouldn’t calm down, and Wolfgang punched a member of security before all three members began attacking the security guards and referees. As a result, police officers were sent to arrest the stars, handcuffing them to end the show.

NXT released a statement on social media that the members of Gallus were suspended indefinitely due to their actions.

“Due to Gallus’ actions involving the assault of WWE officials and security after their Pub Rules Tag Team Match, Wolfgang, Mark & Joe Coffey have been suspended indefinitely, effective immediately.”

Elsewhere on NXT 2.0, Andre Chase took a shot at wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer during a Chase U press conference and Bron Breakker used math to declare that he would defend his NXT Championship in a triple threat match at Halloween Havoc.
