Former WWE star Matt Sydal (Evan Bourne) was arrested in Japan for possession of liquid marijuana for an e-cigarette back on 9/23 while entering the country via Kansai Airport in Osaka Bay, according to Nikkan Sports. He was convicted on 10/13 but there are no details on his punishment yet.
This likely means the end of Sydal’s career in Japan, which has extremely tough laws on marijuana.
Sydal missed New Japan dates last month and noted online that he had an issue at the border, and would have to stay in Hawaii. The arrest indicates that Sydal never left Japan.
Back in 2012, Sydal was involved in a car wreck that completely mangled his foot. Friends have said he lives in a constant state of pain and it’s amazing he can walk, let alone perform his high-flying in-ring style.
