Wrestling/WWE News Round-Up (22nd - 29th July): Former Superstar gets offer to return, 2 writers released by WWE

#9. Jimmy Uso gets arrested...again!

Another one for Jimmy Uso's mugshot portfolio.

We hate to sound like a broken record but Jimmy Uso has done it again. The 6-time WWE Tag Team Champion was arrested on DUI charges in Escambia County, Florida a few days. He was kept in the Escambia County jail, from where he was released after paying off the $1,000 bond.

The police report stated that Uso had "bloodshot, watery, droopy eyelids, dilated pupils long with slow and slurred speech" and was uncooperative with the arresting officer. He was found accelerating to 86 mph in a 45 mph zone, with the report claiming that he nearly rammed into another vehicle. Uso's car was earlier spotted speeding out of the lane at 100 mph at 1:30 am westbound on Interstate 10, but he was only apprehended and booked at 3:04 am.

WWE released a standard statement claiming that Jimmy Uso "was responsible for his own actions". Uso has been told to appear in court on August 15th for further hearing. This is his second DUI related arrest this year and comes days after his drink and driving history was referenced by John Cena on the Raw Reunion show.

The Demon King has been all over the news lately. The former Universal Champion has been reportedly sanctioned a two-month vacation which begins after he finishes his match against Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam. Balor recently got engaged to Fox Sports Mexico reporter Veronica “Vero” Rodriguez and intends on recharging his batteries with his fiance.

Finn Balor was scheduled to take on Shinsuke Nakamura at the SmackVille show, however, he was pulled from the event after suffering stomach flu. Balor posted a photo of himself from the hospital bed with the caption 'SummerSlam':

The word going around backstage is that Balor is expected to return to action as early as this Tuesday on SmackDown Live. He has been advertised to take on Dolph Ziggler on this week's episode. As things stand, he will compete against Bray Wyatt at SummerSlam on August 11th and go on a short sabbatical.
