3 WWE Superstars who were recently suspended and 2 who are probably not 

WWE is very strict when it comes to their wellness policy. Any full-time competitors who violate the rule get immediately suspended from the company for 30 days (if it’s their first violation). The suspension time increases if the wrestler fails another test.

In 2016, WWE suspended 7 wrestlers and in the next three years, they had no wellness policy violations. Although the company’s policy has raised many questions, it should be noted that they are very stringent with their rules.

Nobody is exempt from this kind of situation. In the past few weeks, WWE has suspended quite a few Superstars for breaking the wellness policy, but the company didn’t release a detailed explanation regarding the suspensions.

Its been rumored that several other Superstars have endured the same fate, although it hasn’t been confirmed yet. Keeping that in mind, here are 3 WWE Superstars who were recently suspended and 2 who are rumored to be suspended.

#3 Recently suspended: Primo Colon

Primo didn't fail any WWE drug test

Primo Colon hasn’t been seen on WWE television in a long time. The reason for this is that the company doesn’t have any plans for him. In 2019, he was suspended for violating WWE’s wellness policy. Apparently, Primo failed to show up for the test and under the company’s terms and conditions, it means that the Superstar has failed the test entirely.

He received a 30-day suspension. At first, many fans weren’t aware of the reason he got suspended but while speaking to Primera Hora, Primo stated:

“I was not on the road, I was not scheduled for any event in the near future,” he told the publication. “I am in Puerto Rico when they call me suddenly, not to use me, but to travel to do a doping test. I was ready to do it, but I told them that I was in Puerto Rico and that I was willing to go to a place that they chose to test me without any problem, without any discomfort. I was not going to pay for a trip to just get tested for doping.”

“I didn’t hear anything from the company about it and I thought they were going to call me when they found a place to do the test. Almost two months pass and I get the letter that I am suspended, according to them, because I refused to take the test. And that is not correct. They took it as I was out of the country, but I was available,” Colon added.

It’s February now, and Primo’s suspension has expired. He’s still contracted to WWE until October 2020, but Vince McMahon probably has no plans to use him at all.

#2 Probably isn't suspended: Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio, the former United States Champion, got DDT’d onto the concrete on RAW this week. Now, many are speculating that he too failed WWE’s drug test and now is suspended. This is noticeably the same way WWE wrote off Andrade from television. Perhaps Mysterio is also a culprit for breaking WWE’s Talent Wellness Policy.

It isn't pure speculation. Rumor has it that WWE could be announcing more names to be suspended for breaking their Wellness Policy.

Although some fans hope that this rumor isn’t true because Mysterio is a professional and it’ll hurt his reputation if he fails a drug test in WWE. But we will only get to know more about this situation in the coming days.

For now, it’s rumored that Mysterio won’t be appearing on WWE television for some time as he has taken a break. However, we don’t know for sure if it’s his decision or WWE has suspended him for failing their doping test.

#2 Recently suspended: Andrade

Andrade is the most recent WWE Superstar to be suspended by the company. His suspension received a lot of public attention because many fans believed that he hadn’t failed the drug test held by WWE.

Former WWE announcer Hugo Savinovich is one of the first few to defend Andrade publicly for his suspension. Hugo doesn’t work for WWE anymore but he knows a lot more than others.

“Wrestlers in WWE have commented about this situation in the locker room, a world where you’ll hear all sorts of things. Andrade, I dare say it publicly, I understand is innocent,” Savinovich said.

Fans believe that Andrade hasn’t failed any drug test in WWE but failed to reach the drug testing facility. He’s still the United States Champion as the company didn’t strip him of his title.

In the storyline, Andrade is out injured due to Humberto Carillo’s attack last week on RAW. His manager, Zelina Vega, brought Angel Garza from NXT as a temporary replacement for Andrade and he’s currently feuding with Carillo on Monday Night RAW.

#1 Probably isn't suspended: Samoa Joe

Backstage authorities believe that WWE hasn't suspended Samoa Joe

Word coming out of RAW is that more suspensions are coming. Must be something in that Southern California water (hint hint). Working to confirm details.

This is what WrestleVotes said a few days ago on Twitter. Although the insider account didn’t reveal the name of who’s going to be suspended, they later posted an image of Samoa Joe. This has raised many eyebrows because fans aren’t buying it. It’s been rumored that Joe is legitimately injured and has not failed a drug test.

Tom Colohue of Sportskeeda gave his opinion on Twitter and stated that WrestleVotes hasn’t clearly said Joe is suspended. And that WWE is now doing more thorough testing of their talents as “they're a lot less worried about alienating talent than they were a year ago”.

It’ll be interesting to see if any of these rumored suspensions are true. And if they are then why is WWE taking a lot of time to confirm the reports? We'll keep you updated on the same.

#1 Recently suspended: Robert Roode

Robert Roode wrestling Dolph Ziggler

Robert Roode got suspended the same day WWE suspended Primo Colon for missing his drug test. As always, the company didn’t reveal complete details about the suspension rather than putting a formal note on its website.

Roode has been paired with King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler for quite some time now and Roman Reigns was their primary target until The Usos made their return.

The former US Champion returned to the ring last month during the build-up to the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. He seemed very happy after returning and why wouldn’t he be? After all, ever since WWE aligned him with Corbin and Ziggler, the Canadian Superstar has been getting a lot of television exposure.

Last week, Reigns and The Usos defeated Roode, Corbin, and Ziggler in a 6-Man Tag Team Match. As a result, Corbin ate dog food in front of the WWE Universe. It seems like this rivalry is over now, and it’ll be interesting to see what the future holds for Roode. Will WWE disband this faction?
