NXT Star Blake Was Arrested For DUI in July
– Former NXT Tag champion Wesley Blake was arrested for a DUI back in July. Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Blake was busted on July 3rd and refused to take a blood alcohol test upon his arrest. You can see video of that conversation below.
The site notes that Blake was told that if he didn’t agree his license would be suspended for a year, but Blake was unmoved. According to court records, Blake initially entered a plea of not guilty but waived that, going into a pre-trial diversion program instead. That allowed him to avoid sentencing by entering into a program. If completed successfully, the charges are dropped in such instances.
It is unclear whether WWE had knowledge of the arrest, though the site points that Blake and Murphy lost the NXT Tag Team Titles to the Vaudevillains a few weeks later.
