Moments after screwing Rob Van Dam out of the ECW Championship, Paul Heyman gave the following statement to ECW.com:

“As of this moment, Rob Van Dam has been suspended for 30 days.”

I approached Heyman immediately as he came backstage following the match to ask him why he screwed Van Dam. Heyman only smiled and offered the above statement. I followed him to ask him why RVD was suspended and why he was screwed out of the ECW Championship…but he only walked faster. When I finally got to his office door, Heyman slammed the door in my face.

Unfortunately, what should have been RVD’s holiday weekend homecoming went from bad to worse to downright horrible. On Monday morning, everything seemed cool as RVD walked into the Wachovia Center as both the ECW and WWE Champion; Tuesday night, however, he left the building with no gold and no job for a month.

After losing the WWE Championship to Edge in a Triple Threat Match on RAW, RVD also lost his ECW Championship to Big Show live on ECW on Sci Fi Tuesday night. With the referee down, Van Dam seemingly had the match won after a Five-Star Frog Splash. Paul Heyman went to count the pinfall like he did at One Night Stand…but before he got to three, Heyman stopped and stared at RVD.

Van Dam looked like he had just lost his best friend, and as he and Heyman did some jaw jacking, Big Show recovered. He spun Rob around and nailed him with a chair, and after a vicious chokeslam on that same chair, ECW had a new champion.

And now, with the suspension levied by Heyman, it looks like RVD won’t have a chance to right the wrong he has been handed.

------------------

Short suspension, as I along with others I think, expected. I guess this'll be worked into a Heyman and RVD sortof feud, just wait to see where it goes. I'm not sure what the situation on Sabu is as of yet, but here's the proof WWE are willing to treat RVD differently as he's such a big name to ECW.

Well R.V.D Deserved It IMO. But I Dont Want Big Show As The Champ. Whats Gonna Happen To Sabu?

Yeah I was hoping for a stiffer punishment... but meh. I think RVD and SAbu should also be fined for what they did. There is supposed to be a stiffer ruling on substance abuse, and smoking pot is just that.

I figured after he lost the ECW title he was pretty much suspended. But 30 days really is not that long. Sabu will probably get the same. But younever know he may get more or less.

Sabu is likely to get more of a punishment in the long run but WWE will bide their time and find a way to get rid of him I would think...Whilst for the mean time he'll probably just get the same treatment as RVD...

...As for you saying Sabu may get less of a punishment than RVD...That is basically an impossibility.

sabu will get released as soon as he screws up again. 30 days? are you kidding, at least 3 months id say.
