As we’ve been reporting this morning, WWE superstar Jeff Hardy has been suspended from World Wrestling Entertainment for his second violation of the company’s Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy. Here is some further information on the situation:
— One more violation of WWE’s Wellness policy will result in Jeff Hardy’s mandatory release from the company.
— Hardy has been removed from the Wrestlemania preview and will not be participating in the Money In The Bank match at the event.
— Jeff Hardy met with Vince McMahon at RAW last night. Several WWE stars were informed of the suspension backstage. Hardy dropped the Intercontinental title to Chris Jericho on the show.
This is certainly a tough break for the rainbow-haired warrior, who was in the midst of the biggest singles push of his career. Hardy’s previous issues with substance abuse and fears that he could relapse were factors in the company not going “all the way” with his push and awarding him with a WWE title win.
