Strike One Times Two: A Pair Of WWE Superstars Are Suspended For Violating The WWE Wellness Policy

They’re going to be taking a little break at the moment. The WWE has a very wide variety of talents and performers under its umbrella. With so many things going on, there are a lot of places to put those wrestlers. WWE certainly knows how to do that, but there are also situations that can cut down the number of people they have available. That seems to be the case at the moment.

The WWE Wellness Policy serves as the company’s drug policy, with wrestlers being tested for a variety of substances. Should they be found to have one of the substances in their system, they are suspended thirty days for the first violation, sixty for the second and released for the third. Strikes can be removed later, but that isn’t needed if you don’t get the first one. Two people however have.

WWE has announced that Robert Roode and Primo Colon have both received their first violation of the Wellness Policy for substances that have not yet been identified. Roode has been involved in King Corbin’s feud with Roman Reigns as part of Corbin’s entourage along with Dolph Ziggler. Colon has not had a televised match with WWE since Survivor Series 2018 and has been wrestling in Puerto Rico in recent months.

Leave the memories alone. Check out the two of them in action, albeit one from some time ago:

Opinion: Does Colon being suspended matter in the slightest? He literally hasn’t been seen in a match on WWE TV in over a year at this point and I would be surprised to see him be suspended from wrestling in Puerto Rico either. Then you have Roode, who is in a pretty big story. WWE can move him out of the feud for a bit thanks to Reigns attacking him recently, but it’s still a bit annoying to see.

What does this mean for Roode? When will WWE release the Colons? Let us know in the comments below.
