Blogger Makes Shocking Discovery About WWE’s Current Wellness Policy

WWE’s Wellness Policy was introduced in the wake of the deaths of stars like Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, supposedly to safeguard wrestlers from the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs, recreational substances, and prescription abuse. However, while its known talents are still tested, it appears the company has changed its stance on announcing suspensions over the years, seemingly deciding to take action in private.

Yet, after PWInsider.com reported that Andrade’s recent WWE firing came after “numerous” violations, the company’s enforcement of the policy has been called into question. This is because the owner of LuchaBlog.com has researched the luchador’s second WWE run, noting that at no point did he miss 30 days, which is the typical suspension period for a wrestler. This seemingly suggests the company has either stopped suspending performers or decided to give Andrade special treatment in the first instance.

“How effective is a policy that allows someone to accumulate numerous violations without being suspended? Cruising through Cagematch quickly, there’s no gap where Andrade goes between matches for 90 or even 30 days during that WWE run, like one would expect if someone’s been violating the policy. “Numerous” violations of an effective wellness policy should trigger an automatic firing; however, the report technically states that it was instead a decision WWE made. Perhaps that’s just a matter of phrasing, but it comes across as if WWE has a wellness policy that they no longer enforce unless it’s needed as a tool to remove someone.”LuchaBlog.com

Andrade’s sudden departure from WWE dominated the wrestling headlines the weekend the news broke, with it soon revealed his second run with the company was filled with disciplinary issues, frustration over not learning English, and even ghosting management. Therefore, when he returned to AEW during Wednesday night’s Dynamite, many eyebrows were raised, especially as a backstage altercation with Sammy Guevara overshadowed his first AEW run, and the fact that he turned down a renewal to rejoin WWE.
