Stalking Incident and Aftermath
In a troubling turn of events, Raychell Rose was involved in a stalking incident with Shawn Reed. Fightful obtained conversations from as far back as August 2021, indicating that Reed's behavior was an issue. Reed claimed that Rose had “manipulated him into thinking she was single,” despite her being in a long-term relationship.
On March 5, 2022, while Rose was wrestling at the Houston Premier Arena, Reed arrived. Blake Jones had Reed ejected from the venue after he made a comment alluding to harming people. An incident report was filed on March 7, and on March 10, ROW official Kevin Bernhardt instructed Reed not to attend an upcoming event featuring Rose.
In December 2022, another incident occurred after a Reality of Wrestling show, resulting in multiple arrests, including Reed. He appeared at the show where Rose was competing, and despite officials attempting to remove him, he was encountered by Booker T in the parking lot. Reed allegedly made threats on himself and implied he'd considered attacking others at the school.
Later, at a bar frequented by Reality of Wrestling performers, Reed was confronted by Rose, who told him to stay away from her and that she was calling the police. Before the police arrived, Reed allegedly hit a ROW Wrestler with a glass mug and attempted to strike Rose.

Rose stated that she was fired from Reality of Wrestling following the incident, which she felt was unjustified, as she was being penalized for having a stalker. Booker T confirmed that Rose was fired, citing internal reasons.
Rose expressed that her safety had been compromised for years due to Shawn Reed and the lack of support from those in charge at Reality of Wrestling. She has spent considerable time in therapy to process the trauma related to the incident.
Rose hopes that Booker T and those in charge at his school will implement procedures to ensure all threats are taken seriously in the future.
Reflections on Reality of Wrestling
Rose expressed gratitude for the start that Reality of Wrestling gave her, especially the original trainers who protected her and fostered a culture of looking out for each other.
