WWE talent were required to log on this week for a company-wide Zoom meetingbut it wasnt about creative, travel, or merchandise. This one was all about science.
According to a new report from PWInsider Elite, WWE held a mandatory meeting for all contracted talent focused entirely on medical techniquesspecifically PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and stem cell therapy. These treatments have become increasingly popular among wrestlers in recent years, with several top stars crediting them for extending their careers and speeding up recovery.
The purpose of the meeting, held virtually over Zoom, was to educate performers on what has been scientifically proven about these therapiesand what still lacks the data to back up the hype.
WWE reportedly made it clear that this was not about pushing or discouraging anyone from undergoing treatment. Instead, the goal was to provide accurate, up-to-date information so talent can make smarter decisions about their health.
The meeting included discussion on the current limits of medical research around these therapies, and what areas show the most promise. WWE wants its roster to have an informed decision if and when they are exploring potential treatments, but emphasized the information was for educational purposes onlynot medical endorsement or disapproval.
With a grueling travel schedule, physical performances night after night, and long-term wear and tear, its no surprise WWE stars are exploring every option to stay in top condition. This Zoom call is just one more way the company is trying to stay proactive on the health frontand make sure the roster knows what theyre signing up for before going under the needle.
