ONGOING RECORD OF WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT WELLNESS POLICY VIOLATIONS If anyone is missing, I don't know why. I just copy/pasted. I assumed Matt Hardy would have been in here a few times. Maybe not. Underlined Terminations are cases where the wrestler was let go due to refusal to undergo rehabilitation in accordance with policy when recommended by the parent company to do so. Underlined Terminations are cases where the wrestler was let go due to a third violation.

How many times a year do you test WWE Talent? The program requires random testing of all WWE Talent a minimum of four times a year. The program is independently administered by Aegis Sciences Corporation.. What are the penalties for a positive test? WWE has a three strike system.

The policy states that a WWE Talent who tests positive and receives a strike is subject to follow up testing. How often is a WWE Talent tested after testing positive and receiving a strike? After a WWE Talent tests positive and receives a strike, that WWE Talent is tested a minimum of 12 times for a period of one year. Does a WWE Talent who leaves WWE with a strike or strikes retain those infractions if they return to WWE? Any WWE talent who leaves the WWE for any reason with a first or second violation on his/her record will maintain those strikes if he/she returns to the WWE. Is a WWE Talent who is terminated for a third strike able to return to the WWE? A WWE Talent who is terminated by the WWE for a third violation will be prohibited from returning to the WWE for at least one year. Before a possible return, the WWE Talent must test negative for all prohibited substances under the Policy during a pre-contract screening. If they pass the pre-contract screening and are approved to return, the WWE Talent must undergo mandatory unannounced testing for at least one year after the execution of the new contract. The WWE Talent will return with two strikes on his/her record. Does WWE announce WWE Talent that have been suspended under the Talent Wellness Program? Yes. It is WWE policy to publicly release any suspensions under this program, as well as the names of WWE Talent who are being suspended. How does WWE test for concussions and protect its performers from head trauma? Since December 2008, WWE has taken significant steps in the area of head trauma.
