Brock Lesnar & Others Exempt From WWE’s Wellness Policy?

Jul 26, 2016

No punishment is forthcoming from WWE for Brock Lesnar’s drug test failures in relation to UFC 200. A spokesperson for WWE confirmed to TMZ that Lesnar will perform at SummerSlam and no suspension or the like will happen.

According to the spokesperson, only full-time WWE performers are subject to the company’s Wellness Policy, which is designed in order to keep full-time performers healthy. Lesnar’s part-time status (with only nineteen matches in the past three years) makes him exempt. The spokesperson said, “WWE’s talent wellness program does not apply to part-time performers such as Brock Lesnar.”

Here is the full report from TMZSports.com:

Brock Lesnar will NOT be disciplined by the WWE for his UFC 200 drug test failures … and WILL perform at SummerSlam as planned … TMZ Sports has learned.

A WWE spokesperson tells us … only full-time WWE performers are subject to the organization’s wellness policy, which prohibits PEDs … but since Brock isn’t a full-time performer, he’s essentially exempt.

“WWE’s talent wellness program does not apply to part-time performers such as Brock Lesnar,” the spokesperson said.

We confirmed with the WWE that Brock has only performed in 19 matches over the past 3 years (4 in ’14, 8 in ’15, 7 in ’16) … and that the average full-time WWE superstar wrestles more than 200 matches per year.

One well-connected source broke down the situation like this — WWE is show business, not a regulated athletic competition … and the wellness program is only designed to keep the “full-time” performers healthy.

Bottom line — Brock will be in the squared circle on August 21st … no matter what happens to him in the UFC.
