According to Article D of the official policy, any superstar that has two violations, may have one of them removed if the following guidelines are met:
1. An initial assessment conducted by the Medical Director (or, as the case may be, an addiction specialist recommended by the Medical Director) who will analyze the addiction related issues and health related concerns then being experienced by the WWE Talent, develop proposed treatments, therapies and/or support programs that may assist the WWE Talent in managing these issues/concerns and determine initial entry date for the WWE Talent into the Redemption Program;
2. Compliance with the assessment recommendations made by the Medical Director (or, as the case may be, an addiction specialist recommended by the Medical Director) for the duration of the eighteen (18) month program;
3. Mandatory unannounced follow-up testing as set forth in Section 8(C) (1) of the Policy; and
4. No violations under the Policy for eighteen (18) consecutive months after initial entry into the Redemption Program.
Upon successful completion of the Redemption Program, the WWE Talent shall request the PA, with the approval of the Medical Director, to delete one (1) of the two (2) violations of record for such WWE Talent. In the event the PA determines in favor of the request, the violation record for such WWE Talent will then be amended to reflect the reduction of a violation leaving the WWE Talent with only one (1) violation under the Policy.
Hardy had two violations prior to his return to the company at WrestleMania 33.
Editor’s Note:
I’m all about giving people second chances. If Brother Nero has truly cleaned himself up, then he should be given the opportunity to redeem himself. That would be WONDERFUL!!!
Do you think Jeff Hardy should be given an opportunity to have a Wellness Policy violation removed? Leave us a comment below, or post a comment on our Facebook page!
