Prosecutors drop charges against Jerry Lawler and fiancee

Lawler’s attorney stated after Friday’s court hearing that the incident was “a big misunderstanding and won’t happen again. We are happy with the outcome.” Read more at CommercialAppeal.com.

Powell’s POV: The couple was arrested last month following a domestic incident at the home they share. WWE suspended Lawler indefinitely following the incident, citing their zero tolerance policy relating to domestic violence.

Update: WWE lifted Lawler’s suspension on Friday afternoon.
