Exclusive: HUGE Update on Evan Bourne’s Second Suspension, What It’s For, & Why He Feels He Shouldn’t Be Suspended
1I promised everyone earlier in the day that we would have some exclusive news on Evan Bourne and I wanted to follow
through on that before I called it a night.
Earlier today it was revealed that Evan Bourne would be suspended a second time for failing a WWE Wellness Policy test. This second violation is indeed for the exact same thing as the first one – synthetic marijuana, also known as “spice”. Bourne was first told about the possible failure at Tuesday’s Smackdown taping. The positive test was confirmed at Friday’s WWE Live Event.
Sources close to Bourne tell us that he was extremely distraught upon hearing the news and apologetic towards Kofi Kingston and openly asking that Kofi not be held back due to this. Bourne and Kofi have gotten extremely close since forming “AirBoom” and Bourne felt as if his actions will really hurt Kofi in the long run.
Kofi, who actually tweeted Tuesday night that he was home for the first time in weeks, was actually kept home by WWE management so that they could handle this with Bourne.
The same source also revealed to us that Bourne initially intended to fight the most recent suspension as he claims that this recent failure was from a test that was extremely close to his first failure. Bourne feels as if he’s being suspended twice for the same exact incident.
After the first failed test, this same source close to Bourne contacted us at WrestleChat about our report and informed us that any reports of Bourne having backstage heat for ratting out R-Truth was inaccurate. Bourne sees Truth as a close friend to his and would never abuse his trust. This source also told us that previous reports about Truth and Bourne failing their respective Wellness Tests were NOT due to the same incident. While they did fail tests for the exact same thing, they were not together at the time and the incidents are completely unrelated.
Bourne is extremely worried about his status with the company right now, and rightfully so. While we have not heard of any rumblings about Bourne’s future with the company, it’s already known that Triple H and Stephanie don’t agree on Bourne. Stephanie is a big supporter of Bourne’s and feels as if he’s unique, whereas Triple H isn’t impressed and is frustrated with Bourne’s apparent open frustration with his position within the company. Given the struggle above between those in power and the two recent suspensions, Bourne has every right to be worried right now.

Wow, this is HUGE, I really hope Evan don´t lose his job, he really looks like he enjoy it, no matter what his situation is.
One question, and I hope it won´t be awkward, it´s just because … I wouldn´t like to see him throwing his career and his life away but … is Evan still doing spice or was just a “one-time thing”? I mean … I know the wrestler´s life is tough, but there´s always an alternative to relief the pain
