WWE News: Rumor killer on sexual assault case against Enzo Amore being dropped

What's the story?

Earlier this week, online speculation surfaced suggesting that the police investigation into alleged sexual assault charges perpetrated by former WWE employee and Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore has been dropped.

However, these rumors seem to have been confirmed as false.

In case you didn't know...

Ringside News reported that Enzo's accuser Philomena Sheahan's former friend Sam, tweeted that the case against Enzo Amore had been dropped, leading to both Sam and Sheahan deleting their Twitter accounts.

They also reported that they looked into court dockets in the state of Arizona, and discovered there was no record of Eric Ardnt's name, meaning that no official charges have been raised against the former wrestler.

The heart of the matter

However, it would seem that despite Sam's now-deleted tweet, and these reports that the police are no longer looking into, claims that Enzo Amore is still under investigation after all.

Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reached out to the police investigating the matter and received a reply back, confirming that the case is still open at this time and that Enzo is still being investigated.

What's next?

So what have we learned? Well, as it turns out not a lot. The police are still investigating the allegations but, no official charges have been leveled against Enzo which is exactly what happened a few months ago.

The case is particularly complicated, with counter-allegations being made against the alleged victim, suggesting that she made the whole thing up, and has been ongoing for a large period of time, so we just need to let the police get on with it.

If there is sufficient evidence against Enzo, he will be charged and taken to court.

Author's take

What a mess this story still is, even though a significant amount of time has passed since the allegations were made public and the WWE made the decision to fire Enzo. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
