Update On Gregory Helms’ Future In WWE

Published On February 4, 2010 | By | WWE News

As we reported here earlier in the week, WWE superstar Gregory Helms was found with a Soma pill (a schedule four narcotic muscle relaxer) in his bag when arrested with Chris Jericho. Helms was unable to produce a prescriptionfor the pill at the time of arrest, but it did not get him into any trouble with the police.

If Helms didn’t have a prescription for the drug as he told police, WWE would be forced to suspend him for 60 days on his second Wellness violation. WWE’s current policy says that every prescription a wrestler has is supposed to be filed ahead of time with Dr. David Black. All prescriptions are supposed to be written by the company doctors who travel with the WWE crew. Helms has a previous violation against him for his name coming up in the Signature Pharmacy scandal in 2007 and has never failed a WWE drug test.

There has been a lot of talk backstage regarding Helms’ future with WWE after the incident. It’s estimated that Helms missed out on a $5,000 payday when he was pulled from the Royal Rumble PPV days after the arrest. Helms was said to be apologetic to WWE officials for the incident. He appeared on this week’s ECW show, getting beat down by Ezekiel Jackson and William Regal after they talked about his “rough week.”

    hopefully he’s not released, he would be good on smackdown once the new show comes in.. But if he is released ,TNA will pounce once the 90 day clause is up & add another wwe discard to their roster.
    he is good friends with shannon moore & jeff hardy,so its most likely he will be tna bound if hes released by wwe.. for this reason wwe may not release him just yet…..

  • Slick Nick The Rula

    Why not just go pick up Evan Karagias over at some random soap opera and meet Shannon Moore over in TNA because that’s the last thing I will ever see you doing, Mr. Helms. I don’t want to see you go, but I have to agree with the rest of the internet when they say go to TNA.

    i liked him better with the cape

    If only there was a Super Hero In Training to help Helms out!!!

    So he was pulled from the rumble for the drunkin’ deal…but, why not Chris Jerico? Don’t get me wrong, I know Chris is on a diff rent level than Helms but thats not fair. He would rock on Smackdown, and getting suspended for 1 pill is dumb. If I recall Orton, and Roid-zilla (Batista) had rumors that they failed but nothing happen to them
