The Daily Record in Great Britain ran a story on the WWE suspension of Smackdown Diva Tiffany (Taryn Terrell) today, including a comment from a WWE Spokesperson, who stated, "WWE are aware of the situation and have taken appropriate disciplinary action."

Read below for it all:

THE Playboy bunny wife of Scots wrestling champ Drew McIntyre has been suspended as a TV grappler after allegedly attacking him.

Taryn Terrell, 24, has not appeared on World Wrestling Entertainment’s Friday Night SmackDown TV show since being arrested.

The stunning blonde was detained by police at the couple’s Los Angeles hotel room after security staff raised the alarm.

A spokeswoman for the WWE confirmed: “WWE are aware of the situation and have taken appropriate disciplinary action.”

And an insider said: “Taryn has been kept off the shows to give the authorities the required time to investigate.

“The bosses see it primarily as a personal issue but they have to keep a close eye on the legal proceedings.

“If she is not charged with any wrongdoing, she will be welcomed back.”

The SmackDown show is watched by millions of fans across more than 55 countries.

Before her arrest, Terrell had regularly appeared in bouts.

A clip of her in action that previously aired in the opening credits was also removed.

McIntyre, 25 – the first Scot to sign a contract with WWE – has continued to appear.

The Sunday Mail previously revealed how the couple, who married in Las Vegas in May,
were at the Playboy mansion for a party hours before Terrell’s arrest.

She was taken into custody at 8am on August 8 but released on £10,000 bail. It’s believed charges against her include assaulting her spouse. She is due to appear at a Los Angeles court on Thursday.

Ayr-born McIntyre, who is 6ft5in and weighs 18 stone, was not arrested and backs his wife.

Following the incident, McIntyre claimed it had all been a “misunderstanding”.

McIntyre moved to the US in 2007 to pursue his then fledgling wrestling career and changed his surname from Galloway.

He got engaged to Terrell in July last year and the couple are based in her native Louisiana.
