It was announced earlier this week that Enzo Amore was released of his WWE contract after allegations of rape charges surfaced online against the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

Dave Meltzer discussed the allegations on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio and revealed that not too long ago Enzo was actually trying to get out of his WWE deal. Enzo apparently wanted to quit the company so he can focus on becoming a rapper full-time.

In regards to Enzo’s future, Meltzer said he can now pursuit a career as a rapper or he could possibly make good money on the indie scene but that’s if the charges against him are dropped.

Enzo Amore released the statement below through his lawyer addressing the recent allegations of rape levied against him that ultimately led to his release from WWE.

“Over the last two days, Philomena Sheahan has made multiple public accusations against Eric Arndt (also known as Enzo Amore with the WWE), including allegations of sexual misconduct concerning an October 2017 incident in Phoenix. Mr. Arndt fully and unequivocally denies those accusations. He is cooperating with the authorities in this manner and looks forward to having it resolved in a timely manner. Neither Mr. Arndt nor his counsel will be making any further public comments on this matter.”

The post Enzo Amore Releases Statement Regarding Recent Allegations appeared first on Wrestling News & WWE News, Rumors & Spoilers.

It was reported earlier today that Twitter user @MissGucciWitch publicly accused Enzo Amore of rape. The women claimed that the incident took place back on October 19th in Arizona. Since the story broke, WWE has suspended Amore once word got out that actual police charges were filed against the WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

The woman has also provided additional details about the incident and revealed that Tyler Grosso and Twitter user TooPoor were accomplices in the act.

“Most people only blame Enzo but believe me Tyler & Layla were 100% aware & involved & hopefully if these charges go though & they all get prosecuted I’ll feel so much safer. I love you & thank you so much. “

The women also released additional details to Fightful.com:

“Layla (TooPoor) posted to a couple of her fans and said ‘Who’s down to suck dick?’ I wasn’t down to suck dick, but I thought she’s probably down to hang out. I had been a fan of hers for a long time because I thought she was a really cool person. She messaged me and we DM’d back and forth — the police have the DM’s, I gave them my phone and they copied everything off of it. She invited me to the hotel all three of them were staying at. I had been a little drunk, but not too drunk to drive. I drove all the way over there — I was in Tempe and they were staying in Phoenix. She came to my car and walked me into the hotel and said ‘are you really down to suck his dick?’ I said ‘I don’t know if I’m really down to suck his dick, but if he’s cute and we get along, then maybe. If not I just want to hang out.”

Philomena continued, “I walk into the hotel room and there’s cocaine everywhere. They’re smoking weed and everything. We just started doing drugs,” she said. “Then they pulled out a different bag. I expected it to be a better version of cocaine — like top shelf that they had. They started giving it to me and I did like three lines in a row. It must have had meth or something I don’t even know, because I was literally was sitting there on the couch. I could hear what they were saying, I couldn’t speak, I was frozen. I can’t say I was unconscious, but I was not there.”

Philomena noted that she could still hear a conversation between Enzo and TooPoor:

“Enzo Amore goes ‘Layla thank you for bringing this girl around. This is the type of girl I’ve been waiting for… that I can just destroy. She’s such a lightweight, she doesn’t even know what’s going on. I’m going to rape the shit out of her.’ At first Layla and her boyfriend are like ‘Dude, come on are you for real? That’s kind of f***ed.’ And (Enzo) was like ‘No, I’m doing it. I don’t care what you say.’”

Welcome to Monday Night Raw for January 8th 2018!

We’re less than three weeks away from the 2018 Royal Rumble and things are finally heating up. Tonight’s Raw will feature the return of The Miz, who may be looking to claim back his WWE Intercontinental Championship from Roman Reigns. The Big Dog took the title from Miz and then put him through an announce table and the A-Lister has not been seen since. Well, Roman is on the lookout for a new challenger after dispatching Samoa Joe last week, and isn’t it perfect timing for The Miz to make his return.

Elsewhere on tonight’s Raw, Enzo Amore returns and will immediately defend his Cruiserweight Championship against Cedric Alexander. This match was supposed to take place on last week’s Raw but Enzo Amore was legitimately in the hospital for unknown reasons and was banned from competing that night by WWE officials. That means we get the match tonight and fans are hungry to see Enzo lose his title, however I don’t see it happening tonight. Let us know if you think Cedric will dethrone Enzo!

Also, WOKEN Matt Hardy will make his in-ring debut tonight, as well as Braun Strowman and Kane competing in one-upsmanship, and how will Alexa Bliss respond to being beaten by Asuka last week? All that and more to look forward to. Remember to download the free Ringside News or Talk app’s and let us know what you’re thinking. Enjoy the show!

Enzo Amore recently spoke with The Sun. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Thoughts on Neville: “Neville is one of my favourite pros in the business. He carried NXT with that title and was a tag-team champion there. Then he worked the 205 division with the hardest schedule in silence, he was working Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then Mondays and Tuesdays.

Why he wants him to come back: “When guys were catching red-eye flights from the west coast after Raw, Neville was driving on to the next town or taking an early morning flight. It’s the hardest schedule in pro wrestling because you are closing out 205 at the end of the week. I hope Neville comes back and we feud. I have never seen a guy work like he does. He might move better than anyone has ever moved in a ring – like the Dynamite Kid. I have seen him tear it up in matches that no one will ever see – absolute bangers – I would love to move around with him because that dude can dance.”

Traveling with Neville, Braun Strowman, and Big Cass and their music tastes: “I travel on my own and try to I float along to music. I travelled with Neville, he is my road dog, we travelled on NXT and FCW before that. He opened my eyes to a whole genre of music in reggae. And then I travel with Braun, who is introducing me to country music. And Big Cass was all about Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen.”

As previously reported, Dave Sahadi, who had been working the past decade as the Director and Producer for Impact Wrestling, was let go by the company two weeks ago.

Sahadi came to the company and worked in post-production until March 2006 before being promoted to Director of Impact. Dave Meltzer reported in The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that during his time with the company, he had taken five different pay cuts — four with the old regime and one with the new one to help money issues the company have had.

Sahadi was also owed $24,000 and $39,000 when the company was sold to Anthem, which he never collected. The idea was that he wanted to start a new clean slate with the new ownership but he was instead fired shortly after and replaced by Scott D’Amore’s buddy, Michael Vedder.

Sahadi’s release was described as a “budget cut.”

During Sunday’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez discussed Rich Swann’s match being pulled from tonight’s episode of RAW because of his arrest over the weekend.

Bryan Alvarez reports that they are trying to get Hideo Itami to debut on tonight’s RAW as the replacement for Swann on the show. Alvarez said if they are unable to get him in for the show, they will probably just do a multi-person match to determine the new challenger for Enzo Amore’s Cruiserweight Championship.

We will keep you updated if WWE makes an official announcement.
