Prior to tonight's WWE Supershow taping of Raw and Smackdown in Memphis, the entire WWE roster underwent their first urine test for the WWE Wellness program.
The results from today's testing will be considered "baseline" levels with no action taken against anyone testing positive for illegal substances. The results of the baseline tests will be compared with future testing to determine whether usage of prohibited and illegal substances have continued, or if the levels of the substances within performers are dropping.
According to the wording of the WWE Wellness Program, "After the baseline test, subsequent positive tests for non-medical use of a prohibited substance will result in disciplinary action."
In other words, WWE will not penalize anyone for what's already in their system as long as take strides to get off of it. However, if future testing indicates continued use at the same level (or increased usage) without a medical reason, that talent will be subject to disciplinary action starting with a 30 day suspension without pay.
