Change to WWE Drug Testing Policy
WWE is now testing for the synthetic marijuana, also known as "spice" or "K2". If you test positive for the fake weed, you still get the $2500 fine that a real marijuana violation carries.
This has several WWE talents upset because when WWE began cracking down on real weed, a lot of the guys started smoking the fake weed so they wouldn't get fined. The fake marijuana has been made illegal by some states and is considered a "drug of concern" by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Chyna Comments on Returning to WWE or TNA, More
Former WWE Intercontinental & Womens champion "The Ninth wonder of the World" and Vivid Video Vixen Joanie "Chyna" Laurer was a guest on Wrestling News Live’s Fall Out show (http://wrestlingnewslive.tk/) and below are some of the highlights:
On WWE’s Hall Of Fame:
Well you know what? As far as relationships goes, I’m way over that you know, it was a typical break up in the sense of losing someone you love and the deceit and cheating yes but that happens to all of us. What was the real heart breaker for me was that I really knew in my heart it would blow over in a year or two or when we were able to pass the relationship stage that everybody goes through in a break up but because of the way business was done, I didn’t know that it would be a decade later and nobody has spoken to me I mean come on, I’m over the relationship part, it was just bad business on their part if you ask me.
If she would return to WWE or TNA if they offered her a contract:
Absolutely; Based upon the deal. I’ve come real far at this point in my life and I know what I want and I know what I deserve so you know, if everything was good for this point if my life, yeah of course….. I think I’m pretty reasonable; I have done a lot of things throughout my career and worked hard for my name and know my work ethic so you know I don’t know, like loreal, I guess I’m worth it but you know, you never know what’s gonna happen tomorrow.

WWE Star Alex Riley -- Off the Hook for DUI
Alex Riley has a big WWE match with The Miz on Sunday, but he'll fighting with one less thing to worry about -- he won't be charged for driving under the influence stemming from an arrest last year.
As TMZ first reported, Riley was busted for driving under the influence in Tampa, FL back on November 17, 2010. He was booked into a local jail and eventually released on $500 bond.
But Riley's lawyers went before a judge earlier this month and argued that police had no probable cause for a traffic stop. The judge agreed, rendering the field sobriety test and the officer's observations (detecting the odor of alcohol) inadmissible.
