Evan Bourne recently managed to do something we’ve never seen in the WWE before, but I’m sure he’d go back and change that if he could. 

The former WWE Tag Team Champion found himself suspended not once but twice in a three-month span for violating the company’s Talent Wellness program, leaving many to speculate about his future in the company. 

As it turns out, though, Bourne may not have one. 

From PWInsider.com (via LordsofPain.net): 

While Bourne would be cleared to return to action in March, a report on PWinsider.com suggests that Bourne could be done with the company for good. 

No official decision has been made yet, but "a number of WWE sources" have indicated that Bourne will not be brought back. 

Bourne's first violation of the Wellness Policy was reportedly a result of him using synthetic marijuana ("spice"), which is a banned substance in WWE. 

Bourne's latest violation is said to be a result of something "completely unrelated" to his first situation. 

Like many others, I assumed that Bourne’s second suspension was also a result of synthetic marijuana use, which was bad to begin with. But the fact that he got suspended for something completely different the second time around might be even worse. 

Everybody makes mistakes, but Bourne made two career-threatening ones back-to-back, which is completely unacceptable.

I’ve always been a fan of Bourne, but if I was making the decisions in the WWE, I’d bury the holy hell out of Bourne, see if he’s willing to push through it and, if he is, I’d consider giving him another chance to make his way back up the card.

But if Bourne has so much as another minor slip-up, he should be gone from the company. 

He’s certainly not irreplaceable, and there are far too many talented guys on the WWE roster who are willing to step up and “take his place” in the tag team division and as the company’s next high-flyer. 

Bourne was in the midst of a golden opportunity while partnering with Kofi Kingston, but he’s thrown that away on two occasions. 

If he can’t learn from his mistakes this time around, then he never will.
