News broke last week about Roman Reigns’ suspension from the WWE for violating the wellness policy. It shocked many fans and proved that the WWE’s wellness policy is legit, considering Reigns is one of the top guys in the company.

Here were some highlights of the interview:
Jericho says Roman Reigns’ suspension is an example of the WWE taking their wellness policy seriously. He also says Wrestlers aren’t dying as young anymore as a result of the stricter sanctions:
“Reigns is a great guy and a great worker. That he was suspended shows there is no BS or (messing) around when it comes to the policy. There are things on (the banned list) that are not anywhere but on the WWE list. You see the things that happened 10, 15 years in the past that don’t happen anymore. You don’t see guys dying young” (Source: For The Win).

I am personally happy to know that no WWE star is exempt from their wellness policy, regardless of their stature in the company. This will only help wrestlers live long and healthy lives after their careers are over. In the past, substance abuse and other things were problems for wrestlers and we saw a lot of them die young. I think the WWE deserves some credit for implementing these policies and helping the wrestlers. Let us know what you think below in the comment section!
