Dirtsheets sponsored by The Man Cornette Hates the Most this Week:

Originally Posted by Observer Alberto El Patron is no longer considered a suspect in the domestic violence incident that took place at the Orlando International Airport earlier this month. As Pro Wrestling Sheet first reported, the Orlando Police Department's investigation into the incident ended with them finding that only Paige should be charged for domestic battery. That information has been forwarded to the state attorney's office for review and to decide whether charges will be filed. Paige had previously claimed that she threw a drink at El Patron and was the one who was held for potential battery charges. Global Force Wrestling has yet to indicate whether the Orlando PD's findings mean that El Patron's suspension will now be lifted. He had been suspended indefinitely until the resolution of the investigation. WWE's zero-tolerance policy regarding domestic violence states that Paige would immediately be suspended if she were arrested for such a matter. If she were convicted, she would immediately be terminated.

Originally Posted by PWI WWE filed a response to the most recent version of the lawsuit filed against them by Scott "Raven" Levy and Marcus Bagwell on 6/29 in the United States District Court of Connecticut in regard to allegations that WWE owes them royalties from usage of material featuring their work in matches and segments from WCW and WWE on the WWE Network. As you might imagine, WWE pretty much reiterated that the two are not due any royalties from WWE Network and argued that the case has no merit.

She also talks about how push-back from social media led to the re-branding of the division. Stephanie says the female Superstars have become a focal point of WWE programming since the re-branding. Triple H noted that the women's TV segments are often the highest-rated segments across the board, almost on a weekly basis.

According to Styles, he recently did some work on Southpaw Regional Wrestling and it is one of 'The Phenomenal One''s most favorite things he has done in WWE. "I just did something recently that is on the top of my list of very funny things, Southpaw Regional Wrestling. Oh my God…" Styles insinuated that he portrays a car salesman from Louisiana called Malibu Al on an upcoming season of SRW.

Originally Posted by WrestleInc A WWE source is strongly denying Sports Illustrated's report that Talking Smack was canceled because Vince McMahon was not pleased with the show and it did not serve the company's best interests, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The report explains if that were true, Vince would have canceled Talking Smack outright instead of continuing to air it after pay-per-views. Moving forward, the series will continue, but with the lower watched Tuesday episodes being canceled. Vince McMahon doesn't hate Talking Smack, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, but he does not watch it either. He gets a weekly report about the series every Wednesday. One segment Vince was reportedly unhappy with was when The New Day appeared on the series right after Kofi Kingston got cleared on the May 23, 2017 episode. This ended up being their Tuesday night debut and Vince felt their first appearance on Tuesday should have been on SmackDown.

Originally Posted by WrestleInc Buddy Murphy may have suffered an ankle or leg injury at Thursday's WWE NXT live event in Cocoa, Florida, according to multiple correspondents in attendance. During the main event, which saw Hideo Itami & The Velveteen Dream defeat Murphy & Kassius Ohno, Murphy went down early in the match after landing bad on his ankle. A WWE trainer came down and talked to Murphy for a minute but our correspondent noted that it looked like Murphy wanted to stay in the match. Referee Drake Wuertz came down a few minutes after the trainer and talked to Murphy, apparently talking him into going to the back to get checked out. Murphy left before the half-way point of the match, forcing Ohno to work the match by himself.
