WWE Star Getting Knocked Out?, More On Marijuana in WWE

— Regarding the report that WWE wrestlers continue to violate the marijuana use policy, despite evidence that it can lead to a WWE release or push being halted, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter clarifies that the pressure from management is not what it was a few months ago. The story notes, “Some users who had gone clean due to office pressure are no longer feeling that pressure.” So while marijuana use might still be rampant, it appears WWE Superstars are not being as defiant as was originally portrayed.

They still face a $1,000 fine for each violation.

— CM Punk has been working a post-match gimmick in which he pretends to be knocked out. As part of the gimmick, the World Champion lies motionless in the ring for several minutes after the match ends.
