UPDATE x 3: We reported over the weekend that WWE Superstar Bo Dallas was kicked off a flight over the weekend due to being highly intoxicated.
Now, Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that Dallas was indeed arrested for “public intoxication.” The Dallas Fort Worth Police department has confirmed the arrest report. Bo Dallas, real name Taylor Rotunda, was removed from his flight for yelling and cussing at the flight crew while wearing “TapouT” gear. As you know by now, WWE partners with TapouT.
According to the police report, Dallas was “slumped over in a chair looking at his phone”, and when he stood up, he “demonstrated very poor dexterity and dropped his phone”. The report also says that he “strongly smelled of alcohol”. Dallas told police that he was drinking earlier in the night as his flight was delayed and when they inquired as to how much he drank, he said “I’m not really planning on driving tonight.”
Police officers on-scene determined his level of intoxication was a danger to himself and others, and then placed him under arrest.
As noted earlier, Bo Dallas wound up being pulled from the WWE’s entire tour of Mexico. He was scheduled to team with Curtis Axel on the Mexico tour against The Usos. Axel instead worked singles matches against Jey and Jimmy Uso. Dallas was previously arrested for a DUI back in 2012 when part of WWE developmental.
UPDATE x 2: In an update on the Bo Dallas incident from a weekend incident in a Dallas, TX airport, the man who tweeted on Friday about Bo Dallas apparently being kicked off an airplane for being “too drunk” has provided some addiitional details of the incident. The man appeared on The Late Shift podcast hosted by Steven Bell, who posted the initial tweets that have been making the rounds.
Bell said on the past that his wife was actually the person at the airport and called him to say that several wrestlers including Roman Reigns, Rusev, Charlotte, Dallas and Bayley were at the airport. She said that Charlotte, Dallas and one of the Usos were at a restaurant in the airport and “had to have been there a few hours” because their flight was delayed. He said that while he was talking to his wife, he could hear Dallas singing a song from The Lion King as they were all leaving the restaurant to board their plane.
While his wife wasn’t on the same flight as the WWE talent, she saw Dallas being escorted off the plan by the pilot and that a flight attendant told him he couldn’t board because of his condition. Dallas told the pilot and gate attendants to “f*ck themselves” before walking off. Bell added that the tweet about Rollins being a “d*ck” was based on what his wife overheard by gate agents saying about him.
Police arrived on the scene, but Bell’s wife had to board another plane so they don’t know if Dallas got arrested, was allowed back on the original flight, or took a second fight home after he “sobered up” a bit. There are no arrest records for him from the weekend.
UPDATE: After rumors surfaced over the weekend via social media that Bo Dallas was kicked off his flight due to being “intoxicated”, he did not work the WWE live event in Puebla, Mexico.
ORIGINAL: According to a report from Fansided, someone is claiming that Bo Dallas was kicked off a flight for being intoxicated. You can read some of the tweets that were posted by user @StevenFNBell below. Steven Bell is an online podcast host of The Late Shift.
Bell claimed that Dallas allegedly told the pilot and everyone on the plane to go “f*ck themselves” and walked off “drunkenly.” He was also reporteedly singing songs from Lion King loudly. Airport police were called to the scene, but Dallas was not arrested according to Bell. For now, the story only appears to be a rumor, and WWE has not commented on the validity of the report.
Uh oh. It would appear as though Bo has been kicked off the plane for being too intoxicated.

Not surprising, as I heard him very loudly singing the Lion King song in the background when on the phone with the wife.

The pilot was just told to go fuck himself. I don’t Bo-lieve this is going to end well.

Bo told everyone to fuck themselves before drunkenly walking off. Missing a flight to Mexico due to intoxication may not be a career booster

Confirmation from boarding staff that Bo was booted for being drunk. And apparently Rollins is a dick.

Oh shit. Police have arrived at the terminal and are going off with the managers to look for the very disruptive Bo Dallas.
— Steven (@StevenFnBell) August 26, 2016
Note that I IN NO WAY am saying that Bo Dallas got arrested. Only that he was highly disruptive and that airport police were called.
