Tammy Lynn Sytch, the former WWE Diva, faced her sentencing on November 27th, resulting in outcomes different from what her defense had hoped for. Although she avoided a full 25-year sentence, the consequences of her actions were significant. New details have emerged about her defense’s strategy and a notable absence of a witness during the sentencing.
Sytch’s sentencing hearing received extensive coverage, with her defense emphasizing that she shouldn’t be defined solely by her past actions. The defense argued for a combination of incarceration and mental health rehabilitation as an alternative to the full 25-year sentence, followed by six months of probation. However, the prosecution insisted on the complete incarceration period.
During the hearing, it was expected that Melissa Leslie, the wife of Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, would testify on Sytch’s behalf. However, she did not appear, leaving Sytch without a character witness via PWInsider.

The prosecution focused on Sytch’s history of poor decision-making, particularly highlighting her three DUIs within a 21-day period. These details were crucial in the judge’s determination that the circumstances did not warrant the proposed alternative sentencing. Judge Karen Foxman mentioned the “egregious” nature of the case, and Sytch received credit for her open plea to the court.
