– At this point, no names have been confirmed to be suspended by WWE. Earlier today, WWE did confirm that 10 unnamed WWE superstars had been suspended. Late this afternoon, The New York Daily News revealed several WWE superstars’ names that came up in the Albany, NY DA’s investigation into Signature Pharmacy. Here are the names that The NY Daily News revealed:
Randy Orton, Charles Haas, Adam “Edge” Copeland, Robert “Booker” Huffman, Shane Helms, Mike “Simon Dean” Bucci, Anthony “Santino Marella” Carelli, John “Morrison” Hennigan, Darren “William Regal” Matthews, Ken “Kennedy” Anderson and Chavo Guerrero.
– Later this evening, ESPN named more superstars that were clients of Signature Pharmacy. The names ESPN revealed are:
Shoichi Funaki, Dave “Batista” Bautista, Chris “Masters” Mordetsky in addition to Edge, Morrison and Helms who were previously mentioned.
– Around 7PM this evening, The New York Daily News updated its article adding Eddie “Umaga” Fatu to the list of clients for Signature Pharmacy. SI.com also issued a detailed list of WWE superstars receiving shipments of drugs which you can read here on the site.
– So far, the WWE is refusing to list of suspended names but they have confirmed they issued the suspensions based on independent information received by the Albany DA. WWE is the first organization to reprimand its employees in the Signature Pharmacy scandal. Investigators say they expect numerous stars from Major League Baseball and The NFL to emerge soon as well.
It’s obvious that this has rocked WWE to the core at a very bad time for the company as they prepare for the Congressional hearings. We will keep you up to date on any breaking information as soon as it becomes available.
