UPDATE x 2: According to a report from FOX 13 Memphis, a suspect in the theft of Rusev’s wallet, Lana’s Sony digital camera and several unknown items from WWE SmackDown! Live General Manager Paige at the Sheraton Hotel in Memphis, TN earlier this week week has been named. The site reports that police have named the hotel maid, a women named Portia Williams, as the main suspect in the theft. Rusev and Lana, who are married in real life, as well as Paige were in Memphis, TN for a WWE and Boys & Girls Club anti-bullying event as well as the WWE SmackDown! Live and WWE “205 Live” TV tapings on Tuesday night. FOX Memphis says Rusev and Lana left their hotel room for only about forty minutes on Tuesday morning and when they returned, the items were missing.
Memphis police claim Williams says she found Rusev’s wallet “in the trash inside a chicken box”. According to Rusev, his wallet was missing the $500 that had been inside. As of this writing, the money and the camera are still missing.
For what it’s worth, Rusev said he planned on pressing charges after the head of security said he was at fault for leaving the items in the room.
UPDATE: We reported earlier this week here on eWrestlingNews.com that WWE Superstars Rusev and Lana had several items, including money and a camera, stolen from the Sheraton Hotel in Memphis, TN. The WWE crew was in town for Tuesday night’s SmackDown! Live and 205 Live TV tapings and many of them stayed at the Sheraton. Now, WWE SmackDown! Live General Manager Paige says she was the victim of a thief at the same hotel.
Rusev says that he will be pressing charges, noting that the hotel’s head of security “said it’s my fault for living my stuff in the room”:
If you’re in the Memphis area don’t EVER stay at the @SheratonMemphis it’s literally the worst. Things stolen, bad customer service and room service takes two hours just for a salad and WE are the inconvenience. Ugh. The worst.
