WWE recently released Enzo Amore, who was earlier suspended, has now been fired over sexual assault allegations from a woman in Phoenix, who claimed that the Cruiserweight Champion raped her at a hotel party in October, 2017. A woman filed a report with Phoenix Police, alleging that Amore raped her on 19 October, 2017 at 401 West Clarendon Avenue, which is The Clarendon Hotel & Spa. Suspending him on Monday, WWE said in a statement that they have zero tolerance in matters of sexual harassment. “WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving sexual harassment or sexual assault. Until this matter is resolved, Eric Arndt (aka Enzo Amore) has been suspended,” said the statement. He was released a day later in a short statement by WWE.

The woman claimed on Twitter that she was in a mental hospital for 45 days after the incident took place in October. Enzo Amore went from suspended to released in less than 24 hours, despite not being arrested or convicted of a crime. Here’s what we know about WWE‘s reasoning.

Multiple sources confirm Enzo not telling WWE about the investigation was a big factor in their decision to fire the Cruiserweight Champion, especially since he was apparently on thin ice due to past behavior behind the scenes. This would seem to indicate that Enzo’s firing was due to a violation of the morals clause in his WWE contract and not because of their zero tolerance policy regarding sexual assault.
