After various outlets began to speculate the news, WWE has now stepped forward to confirm that both Robert Roode and Eddie ‘Primo’ Colon have been suspended for failing the company’s wellness policy.

For both talents, this is their first violation of the WWE wellness policy – meaning that Roode and Colon will serve 30-day suspensions.

In an official press release on the matter, WWE confirmed that they “have suspended Eddie Colon and Robert Roode each for 30 days effective immediately, for a first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.”

The last time that fans saw Roode, the Glorious One lost to Roman Reigns on an episode of WWE SmackDown two weeks ago. As for Primo, the former WWE Tag Team Champion had most recently been working in Puerto Rico for his father’s WWC promotion.

At this stage, it’s yet to be revealed on what basis Roode and Colon failed the WWE wellness policy, but we’re sure that information will eventual make itself out into the public domain over the next few days and weeks.
