WWE Suspends Rey Mysterio 30 Days

As reported by WWE.com, current Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio will receive a 30-day suspension for violating the WWE's Wellness Program. This is Mysterio's first official violation of the policy. According to reports, his suspension begins on next Wednesday, September 2, 2009.

From WWE.com:

In accordance with WWE's Wellness Program, effective Wednesday, September 2, Oscar Gutierrez (Rey Mysterio) is suspended for 30 days for a violation of the company’s policy.

This would seem to move Rey Mysterio's Intercontinental Title off him as the suspension would continue through the Breaking Point Pay-Per-View scheduled for September 13, 2009. Currently the #1 Contender for Ziggler's IC title is Dolph Ziggler, but there is no word who he will face at Breaking Point now that Mysterio's been suspended.
