Andradessecond run in WWE came to an end as he was releaseddue to backstage issues. Reports claimed that he had violated WWEs Wellness Policy numerous times and now WWE has been accused of selectively enforcing the policy after Andrades exit.
PWInsider reported that Andrade was cut due to numerous WWE Wellness violations over thelast year. Addressing the report, Luchablog pointed out that the word numerous raises serious questions about how the policy is being enforced. If someone truly violated it multiple times, there should have been suspensions, but Andrades WWE match record shows no 30- or 90-day gaps that would indicate any punishment.
According to Luchablog, this makes WWEs Wellness Policy look weak and selectively enforced. Instead of serving its original moral and ethical purpose, to protect talent and ensure fairness, it now seems to be used only when convenient, such as when the company wants to release someone.
They also said its risky for WWE to keep records of failed drug tests without doing anything about them. Those files could leak or be used against the company later. Luchablog ended by saying its a bad idea to keep a list of failed tests if the company doesnt plan to act on them.
The accusations have started a new discussion about whether WWEs Wellness Policy is fair and honest. The program used to be praised for helping wrestlers with substance problems, but if WWE only uses it when it helps the company, fans wonder whether the policy is meant to protect the wrestlers or just to serve WWEs own interests.
What do you think is WWE fairly enforcing its Wellness Policy, or is it being used as a selective tool to control talent? Share your thoughts and feedback below.
