She wrote: “OKAY..it’s been long enough & I have been so so scared to share this.

“I was raped in mid October by the WWE Enzo Amore (also known as Eric Arden) & Tyler Grosso & TOOPOOR let it happen as accomplices.

“I was in a mental hospital for 45 days after it. They ARE NOT good people.”

The incident allegedly occurred on 19 October last year at a hotel in Phoenix, California.

Police are now investigating the incident.

In a statement a WWE spokesperson said: “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.”
