In accordance with the Talent Wellness Program, WWE (NYSE:WWE) has suspended Ron Killings (R-Truth) for 30 days effective immediately for his first violation of the company’s policy.

Dave Meltzer noted in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that when Evan Bourne was dealt his 30-day suspension for smoking synthetic marijuana, there was another WWE Superstar who failed with him, but due to being higher up on the card, his suspension had to be postponed. R-Truth's suspension should clear that mystery up.

This comes at a terrible time for R-Truth, as he was in a great team with The Miz, and they were likely on their way to tag team gold (or, bronze?). He's an excellent comedy heel with decent in-ring skills, and as I mentioned, just came off of headlining MSG in one of the biggest shows of the year.

The "Little Jimmies" might be getting the last laugh here, but I can't help but feel bad for a star who has so much momentum, only to fail a test for something like synthetic marijuana. Since this is R-Truth's first violation, maybe he'll return and be right where he left off.

Keep an eye on Evan Bourne and what happens when he returns, as it should give us a good idea of what to expect when R-Truth's 30 days are up.
