As we suspected yesterday, Evan Bourne has been suspended for sixty days by the WWE for his second violation of the wellness policy. WWE.com announced the news earlier today;
STAMFORD, Conn., January 17, 2012 €“ In accordance with its Talent Wellness Program, WWE (NYSE:WWE) has suspended Matthew Korklan (Evan Bourne®) for 60 days effective Tuesday, January 17 for his second violation of the company€™s policy.
This keeps Bourne out of action until March 17th 2012, though he could still compete at WrestleMania 28 on April 1st if he has amended the damage caused by his latest suspension and the WWE has a place for him. There is no word yet on why Bourne failed the wellness policy but we do know the first time was for smoking marijuana. Bourne's second suspension is the reasoning behind Air Boom losing the WWE Tag Team Titles hurriedly against Epico & Primo at a live house show this past weekend and the immediate title rematch the next night on RAW. Bourne jobbed both times in the matches after being hit by the backstabber. His suspension likely means the end of Air Boom and Kofi Kingston will likely be pushed as a singles competitor from here on in.
