Earlier Wednesday afternoon, I saw a report stating that Evan Bourne may have checked into rehab.

Sadly, I decided to run with it, disclosing that it was just a rumor. Now word is coming out that Bourne is not in rehab at all.

According to WrestlingInc.com:

Lilian Garcia's husband Chris Jozeph mentioned that Evan Bourne is 'in rehab right now' when the topic of tag team partner Kofi Kingston's match against The Miz was discussed. It would appear that he was misinformed as Bourne stated on Twitter that he bumped into a former Tampa, Florida area professional football player on Wednesday at a Publix supermarket.

"Bumped into Chris Hovan, former Buc and current USF coach, at Publix today. It'd be hard to find nicer or more positive guy than him! Peace!"

Needless to say, if he were indeed in rehab he wouldn't be out and about shopping. On a side note, it is intriguing how Bourne has been the biggest topic of the rumor mill of late (though, granted, it's because he is the biggest story going on in terms of real life vs. storyline).

In the end, we may never know the reason behind Bourne's real-life issues. Let's face it, Matt Hardy was able to hide his indiscretions for years, until his fall from grace in 2011. So chances are until Bourne is ready to talk about his situation we will be left to speculate.
