I remember reading that Del Rio had an option in his contract to opt out of it if he chooses, and there was debate going on if he would do so. I wonder now with this suspension if he will in fact leave the company again.

I don't think they'd ever say Miz failed a test. They would just claim he's off filming some shitty movie.

I bet the high publicity of the Roman and Brock situations has caused them to double down. It had been a good while prior to Roman's suspension, so perhaps they were getting a little lax, but now they wanna light that fire under their roster to let 'em know this shit's serious.

Sasha Banks sees big things in the future for WWE’s Women’s division. In an interview on ESPN’s Off The Top Rope segment with Jonathan Coachman this week, she predicted that women will eventually main event some of WWE’s biggest pay-per-views. Banks says she plans to steal the show at Sunday’s SummerSlam with Charlotte.

“We are not Divas anymore. We are Superstars. We are equal,” Sasha said. “We are proving every single week that we can do it better than the guys and I prove it every time I go out there. My biggest dream is to main event a WrestleMania and I guarantee you that is going to happen.”

Banks explained that she got emotional when she defeated Charlotte for the Women’s Championship on RAW because her dream was to be in WWE for so long. Banks predicts that the next breakout female star on the roster will be Bayley when she gets called up from NXT.

She also talked about her cousin, Snoop Dogg. Banks says Snoop has supported her dream of joining WWE the whole way, and it was a dream come true for him to perform her entrance song at WrestleMania earlier this year. She noted that Snoop’s nickname with his friends is “The Boss.”

As noted, WWE announced on Thursday that they have suspended Eva Marie for 30 days as a result of her violating the company’s Wellness Policy. Because of rumors regarding how long WWE knew about Roman Reigns’ recent violation of the same policy before going public and starting his suspension, there have been questions as to how long the company knows about these issues in advance.

According to Raj Giri of WrestlingINC.com, WWE first discovered the fact that Marie violated the Wellness Policy on Wednesday. It was rumored when Roman Reigns violated the same policy earlier this year, that WWE sat on the information before going public with it, seemingly to get everything in order — from the storylines he was tied into to the live events and TV shows he was advertised for — before being forced to start his mandatory 30-day suspension.

Apparently they didn’t do the same thing with Eva Marie, who was scheduled to compete in a six-woman tag-team match at this Sunday’s WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view. As of this writing, WWE has still yet to announce anything regarding changes to the match.

Eva Marie was the third talent WWE announced as having violated their Wellness Policy, as both Alberto Del Rio and Paige have also been hit with 30-day mandatory suspensions for their first offense of the same policy.

Bill Goldberg appeared at Gamescom 2016 in Cologne, Germany this week, spoke about a potential WWE return and called out WWE 2K17 cover star Brock Lesnar.

Goldberg said that he should be on the cover because he “killed the guy that’s on the cover” when they met in the ring.

In response to fans chanting, “please come back,” Goldberg said that he’ll see what he can do.

Goldberg confirmed he’s headed to New York City for SummerSlam weekend, but that’s all he can say about it right now. He gave the cliche “never say never” and said even at his age (49), he’d have no problem putting his gear on and “ripping people’s faces off again.”

When asked about Brock Lesnar, Goldberg said that Brock knows how he feels about him. They met in the ring back at WrestleMania 20 and he admitted they didn’t have the best match. But Brock knows his power and Goldberg thinks he could give Brock a better challenge than virtually anybody in WWE. Brock knows where to find him.
