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.
