A number of wrestlers have reported that they have had personal items stolen from the Sheraton Memphis Hotel over the week. WWE was in Memphis for SmackDown this week and Paige, Rusev and Lana all reported having items stolen from their rooms. Rusev mentioned on Twitter that he had money stolen from his wallet and Lana had a camera stolen. Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin called the hotel for a comment and claims he was treated badly. Here are the tweets, including Rusev responding to Satin.
Thank you @sheratonhotels Memphis for “cleaning” the room and stealing my wife camera and my money from my wallet

Dig in. I’m prosecuting. Especially after the head of security said it’s my fault for living my stuff in the room. https://t.co/VFXa5P3bL0

Maybe they took inspiration from the thieves in wrestling.
Opinion: That’s very sad to hear, especially when it’s something like cash which isn’t likely to be recovered. Just having to deal with someone taking something from you is nonsense but being told that it’s your fault for thinking that a hotel room you’re staying in is a safe enough place makes it even worse. Hopefully they either get their stuff back or get some kind of restitution out of the whole thing, as there is no reason to have to put up with something like this when you pay money to a hotel.
Do you think either Rusev or Lana will win Money in the Bank? Do you like Paige as General Manager? Let us know in the comments below.
