In some breaking news, announcer Jerry “The King” Lawler has been suspended by WWE after being involved in an altercation with 27-year-old fiancee Lauryn McBride.
Lawler is reported to have hit McBridge in the head, pushed her against a stove and then told her to kill herself with an unloaded pistol.
The WWE Hall of Famer tells a different story however, reporting that McBride was very drunk, scratched him in the face and then kicked him in the crotch.
Below is the statement from WWE:
