WWE News: The Reason for R-Truth's Suspension Revealed

As many are aware, R-Truth was recently suspended for 30 days by the WWE for violating the company's wellness code of conduct.

According to WrestleZone.com, R-Truth was taken off WWE programming because he tested positive for synthetic marijuana.

This is the same substance that put Evan Bourne on the sidelines just a few weeks ago.

These two infractions prove that WWE's wellness program has become more stringent compared to years past. In 2008, for instance, it was reported that the WWE only tested for marijuana once a year. If a wrestler was caught using, he or she would only be fined $1,000 per violation, not suspended.

In R-Truth's case, the momentum he was riding on—after being a part of the biggest match of his career at Survivor Series 2011—will be curtailed. When he returns after his WWE-mandated hiatus, the former TNA champion will likely have to reshape himself as a singles competitor.

The reason being is that The Miz, per F4WOnline.com, is once again being groomed for the WWE Championship picture. The "awesome" one is expected to feud with CM Punk for the coveted title in the near future.

As a result, R-Truth no longer has a tag team, rendering "Awesome Truth" no more. Consequently, a slight character re-haul, at the very least is expected upon his TV return.

If the crowd support during the November 21st edition of Monday Night RAW is any indication, Ron Killings may soon have a sea of "little Jimmys" on his side.
