No further details about the incident were released.
Rose, born Raymond Leppan, is serving a 60-day suspension from the WWE for violating the company's talent wellness policy. He has in recent days publicly protested the suspension, claiming he didn't know taking prescription ADHD medication was in violation of the rules.
"My family and I are still collecting ourselves from this blow," Rose said in a statement following his suspension. "I have zero anger or animosity against the WWE. But I feel the administrators over the WWE Wellness policy were just simply not right in taking this action."
"I feel facts are the facts and my family and I will will be the ones putting our lives back together after this mess," he said, according to Bleacher Report.
The wrestler, who joined Raw in 2014, even tweeted a doctor's note claiming "I did nothing but take prescribed medication. #WWE knew about it for a year."
