Rey Mysterio Suspended for 30 Days

Earlier this week I was shocked to learn that the masked marvel Rey Mysterio was suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE’s drug and wellness policy. Actually it doesn’t surprise me because his name has been mentioned a lot since Chris Benoit died. He has been named in numerous reports about wrestlers who take steroids, or other drugs. This is not good for him considering he is the Hulk Hogan of luchadors in Mexico. He has such a huge fan base in the WWE and across parts of the world. So what does this mean for the Intercontinental Championship?

Well it means he will probably lose the title this Tuesday at the Smackdown tapings. He will probably lose it to Dolph Ziggler who he was scheduled to wrestle at the next WWE Pay-per-view Breaking Point. There are a lot of guys who are deserving of that title right now. The ones I think of are Matt Hardy, John Morrison, Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith, Finlay and even Kane. The one thing I am glad about is that due to this suspension some of the younger guys will get pushed a little bit harder then they are now. I am also glad that WWE does not play favorites with their superstars regarding their policies. Mysterio is a huge name and he is paying the price for his mistakes. You can bet that he will not get a title again for a long time and will be losing a lot when he comes back.

With all that being said I wonder who Dolph Zigglers opponent will be at Breaking Point? I hope it’s Morrison or Hardy. We will find out on September 13th.
