"Any WWE Talent, who is arrested, convicted or who admits to a violation of law relating to use, possession, purchase, sale or distribution of drugs will be in material breach of his/her contract with WWE and subject to immediate dismissal."

At the very least, WWE can use the drug charge in lieu of a positive test for the substance, amounting in a fine of $2,500. However, testing positive for marijuana is not held to the same standard as steroids, or other performance enhancing drugs, and WWE is under no legal obligation to suspend Swagger, in the event that he remains with the company.

wow so orton and thwagger are suspended? Both were on their way to the main event.
BTW If Thwagger wasn't from ''good ol' '' Oklahoma , he'd be done by now. Boring, no pop, drama...he'd be in the Aces and Eights by now.

The question is for how long since he could be released due to his arrest.
