Aftermath of Rey Mysterio’s Suspension

Last night at the Friday Night Smackdown tapings Rey Mysterio lost in his Intercontinental Title due to being suspended for 30 days because of violating the WWE’s Drug and Wellness policy. A lot of people are saying his WWE career might be over due to a controversial interview he did in Mexico. He stated that the suspension wasn’t justified which infuriated Vince McMahon. Mysterio has been in a lot of reports since Benoit did suggesting he does do steroids of some sorts. Only time will tell if he comes back to WWE. For now I would not count on it for awhile. So this Friday you will see Rey Mysterio lose the Intercontinental title to John Morrison in what I am told is a very great match that should be on a pay-per-view. I will definitely be tuning in. My question is, where does this leave Dolph Ziggler who was scheduled to face Rey at Breaking Point? Does it now become Morrison vs. Ziggler? I guess we will have to wait and find out.

This suspension is one of those that really screws up things. For example, in 2008 when Jeff Hardy got suspended before Wrestlemania that screwed things up. He was scheduled to win Money in the Bank that year and win the title earlier then he did but didn’t because of his suspension. The winner of that match was CM Punk and his career has been great ever since. Guys who drop the ball are giving other guys a huge chance to be somebody. Look at the night Chris Benoit murdered his family and himself. He was suppose to be at a PPV wrestling CM Punk for the ECW Championship that was vacated. Who took Benoit’s place? A talented young man by the name of Johnny Nitro who is now known as John Morrison. Coincidence? I am not sure but I know one thing for sure the young guys like Ziggler, Tyson Kidd, David Hart-Smith, Matt Hardy are going to be in line for that title. I cannot wait to see what happens with Intercontinental title the next few months. I think it’s going to make for some exciting and fresh matches. Stay tuned to find out more.
