WWE wrestler Samoa Joe has been suspended 30 days for violating the company’s wellness policy, the organization announced Tuesday.

It is Joe’s first violation of the policy, which covers testing for performance-enhancing and recreational drugs.

Joe was injured two weeks ago while filming a commercial for WWE, Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin reported. He reportedly injured his head while going through a table during a stunt.

The suspension and the injury make it increasingly unlikely that Joe will be part of a WrestleMania program this year. His suspension will expire on March 24, less than two weeks before WrestleMania 36.
