Artem Chigvintsev, the husband of WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella, won't face any charges after being arrested on charges of domestic violence.
Initially arrested on charges of felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant, the Napa County District Attorney's Office has confirmed that Chigvintsev won't be charged.
However, it has been confirmed that Nikki Bella filed for divorce two weeks after the alleged incident.
A former WWE performer, she retired from the sport in mid-2019 after debuting in 2008 alongside her real-life sister, Brie Bella.
Throughout her career, she was highly regarded as one of the best women wrestlers and held the WWE Divas Championship twice which saw her inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2020.
"Napa County District Attorney Allison Haley announced today that her office has declined to file criminal charges against Artem Chigvintsev, age 42, in connection with his arrest on suspicion of felony domestic violence," a statement from the Napa County District Attorney's Office read.
"The decision to not file charges against Mr. Chigvintsev was made after a thorough review of the criminal investigation and careful evaluation of the evidence presented to the DA's Office.
"While we take every arrest seriously and stand firmly against domestic violence, we have an ethical obligation to only file charges when supported by the evidence.
"We are required to prove any and every criminal charge ‘beyond a reasonable doubt' which is the highest standard in the American criminal justice system. If the available evidence doesn't rise to this level of proof, then we cannot ethically file charges.
"Domestic violence can either be filed as a felony or a misdemeanor and has a statute of limitations of three years or one year, respectively.
"At any time within the statute of limitations, the Napa County District Attorney's Office may revisit the case if it learns of other incidents, or otherwise learns of facts or evidence not previously known."
