SWERVE!
WWE have offically reinstated her and will instead "will take appropriate punitive action for her violation of the law".

So this broke just after RAW this week.
WWE Diva Emma is a real life heel ... arrested for stealing an iPad case from a Walmart.
Emma was busted in Hartford Monday night after Walmart security spotted her swiping a red iHome 'Slim Swivel' iPad Mini case ... on sale for $21.14.
Cops tell TMZ ... Emma was charged with misdemeanor larceny in the 6th degree... who knew there were that many degrees?
The legal system in Hartford is lightning quick -- she's already been to court and was sentenced to one day of community service.
WWE RAW was at the XL Center in Hartford as the crime went down.
Emma's lawyer chalks it up to an innocent mistake, saying she just forgot to pay while trying to navigate the self-checkout machine.

I guess a bit of back story on her.
Emma, real name Tenille Dashwood was a relatively new "WWE Diva" who only debuted on the main WWE roster a few months ago but has been kicking it on WWE's developmental show NXT for a while. Her gimmick is she awkwardly dances to her ironically bad entrance theme and is currently in a comedy / romance story with Santino Marella.
She was a decent performer on NXT who did not quite made the jump to RAW as smoothly as people expected but she showed a bunch of potential and was one of a new crop of female wrestlers in WWE who could actually wrestle. She was also pretty good gif material which we all know is one of the most important parts of being a wrestler.
The firing comes after WWE had its first big round of lay-offs in a few years and they are reportedly cutting back left and right so that probably paid a part.
