January 29, 2018 Wrestling Observer Newsletter: Enzo Amore rape allegations, WWE Raw 25, plus tons of news
Eric Arndt, 31, better known as Enzo Amore, was fired by WWE on 1/23, the day after a woman on Twitter accused people Arndt was hanging out with of drugging her, and him of raping her.

One person close to the situation said that when WWE announced the suspension, they had already decided to let him go.
