WWE Suspends Eva Marie
'All Red Everything' gets 30 days for her first Wellness Policy violation.
Following the recent suspensions of Alberto Del Rio and Paige, WWE have announced that Eva Marie (Natalie Marie Coyle) has also been hit with a 30-day suspension for her first violation of the company's Wellness Policy.
Obviously, this means that Marie will now miss Sunday's SummerSlam pay-per-view. Mrs. 'All Red Everything' had been scheduled to participate in a six-woman tag team match, teaming with Natalya and Alexa Bliss to take on Becky Lynch, Carmella and Naomi.
Ironically, the flame-haired diva had recently began a storyline on Smackdown where she fails to turn up for and compete in matches as scheduled (after a lengthy and boastful ring introduction).
While Del Rio and Paige were not scheduled to perform on the SummerSlam card - Paige has been nursing injuries while Del Rio has been floundering and is rumoured to be on his way out of the company soon due to a 'get out' clause in his contract - this latest suspension directly effects the card of one of their biggest events of the year.
This can't have done Eva Marie any favours with the powers-that-be, since a lot of time and effort has went into establishing her new gimmick over the previous month. It looked likely that it would have paid off in some way, shape or form at SummerSlam.
WWE does not disclose what substance(s) talents test positive for.
