WWE Close To Firing Suspended Evan Bourne?

A "number of WWE sources" say Bourne's time is up and he won't be brought back after his 60-day suspension ends.

Evan Bourne may be fired on completion of his 60-day suspension for his second violation of the company's Wellness Policy, both of which came whilst holding the WWE Tag Team Belts with Kofi Kingston. Bourne will be cleared to make a return on the March 19th edition of RAW two weeks before WrestleMania 28 and he could conceivably be part of the extravaganza but "a number of WWE sources" say Bourne's time is up and he won't be brought back. No official decision seems to have been yet but Bourne's inability to to stay clean in such a short time frame since his last suspension is probably the end for him. Triple H is known not to be a big fan of Bourne thinking he brings little to the table, though his wife Stephanie McMahon does see him as useful and is one of his few supporters. It has not yet been revealed what banned substance he failed on this time but the first failure was for using 'spice' (a synthetic marijuana) and it's thought the latest is for using something "completely unrelated" to the first.
