Earlier we noted that Michael Hayes has not been around the company for sometime as he has been taking time off the road to handle some of his personal issues, however that doesn't seem to be the case according to former creative writer, Court Bauer.

Bauer revealed on the most recent episode (http://mlwradio.libsyn.com/bauer-pollock-20) of the “Bauer and Pollock Podcast that Michael Hayes has been suspended indefinitely by World Wrestling Entertainment for offering alcoholic beverages to Rosa Mendes just days after she returned to the company after a stint in rehab for substance abuse. Officials were shocked at his actions and deemed it insensitive enough to suspend him indefinitely.

I think if that's true it's highly blown out of proportion...

BTW... didn't Vince actually put alcohol in front of Eddie Guerrero for a segment when he just barely came back from dealing with substance abuse problems?

As we broke yesterday morning in the PWInsider.com Elite section, longtime creative team member Michael Hayes has been off the road for WWE for a few weeks to handle a personal matter.

In lieu of a number of rumors that have bounced around in the last 24 hours, PWInsider.com contacted WWE regarding Hayes' status with the company.

WWE's official response: "Michael is taking a leave of absence for personal reasons."
