This is a list of every WWE suspension, whether legitimate or within storyline, that has been made public knowledge. Kayfabe suspensions will be indicated as such. All other entries on this list—whether due to Wellness Policy violations, disciplinary action, backstage problems or anything else—should be treated as a true suspension from World Wrestling Entertainment for the Superstars or personnel indicated.
Note 1: Often, very little information is given about these suspensions. Some may not even turn out to be 100% legitimate. This list will attempt to be as extensive as possible, but there may be issues that need correction. Do not treat this list as any form of legal guideline or anything of the sort. It is purely for research purposes and keeping track of history.
Note 2: This list is ongoing and missing many years, as well as likely suspensions from within the years listed below. If you have any information to add to this page, your help is greatly appreciated!
