According to a report from TMZ, the reason that she was suspended was because the drug Adderall was found in her system. However, she is insistent that she had a prescription, and plans to appeal the suspension that was handed to her.
WWE requires all of their performers to disclose to them the medications that they will be taking, and must be approved by the company. In this case, the medication was not given approval, and therefore Eva Marie was suspended.
She issued the following statement to TMZ regarding the suspension:
“I am disappointed that this suspension has occurred, yet understand and respect that WWE upholds their Wellness Policy to the letter and won’t compromise on its integrity. I violated policy by not turning in portions of required paperwork in the time frame WWE Medical deemed timely. I look forward to my return!”
We will continue to monitor this story as it progresses. You can find the original report at this link.
Editor’s Note:
I am certain that this is not the first case where adderall was the reason for a suspension of a superstar. Something about the wellness policy needs to be revised so that this sort of incident doesn’t happen in the future.
