Good thing Brock's got WWE, because I'm seriously doubting he ever goes back to the UFC. Kinda feel bad for Mark Hunt.But I honestly believe that even without PEDs Brock would have beat Hunt on the mat like he did.. Yeah... while I totally gethis beef, I also think Bork paints the Octagon with Hunt's (to borrow a phrase from Justified) with or without PEDs.

I've lost every ounce of respect that I had for Brock now. Before all of this (as far as we knew) he was a legitimate freak athlete. But now? Who knows? The internet is adorable Oh no! Someone questioned my opinion! Whatever will I do?!

...so, with Brock appearing on RAW next week, does this mean WWE haven't suspended him/done anything? Or does it only count if he actually wrestles?

WWE isn't suspending him. ...I know UFC isn't suspending him - but people were saying that WWE would have to suspend him a month (because he'd failed two USADA tests). Did whatever he took/failed for not violate WWE's Wellness Policy too - or is it something they allow(?)

The irony is that people were blasting Reigns for failing the WWE policy but Lesnar? Hmm... Not so much.

Whatever he took which is rumored to be that estrogen blocker same thing that Jones failed for probably does violate the wellness policy but at the time Brock failed the tests he was not a performer for WWE therefore they won't suspend him. Just kind of annoying to see people just keep hanging from Brocks nuts when he cheated and failed TWICE and won't get punished for it and people are making it like Reigns is the worst just because of the bias they have against him for not being one of the their Indy guys.

NO WWE PUNISHMENT ... for Failed UFC Drug TestsTMZ.comBrock 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.

Bending the rules and giving special treatment to anyone makes their wellness policy a joke

That's weird that it doesn't apply to part timers. Vince must have a house in Suplex City.

I'm guessing the last thing Vince and Co need with the money they pay out for Brock is him sitting on the shelf. If they end up getting a lot of bad press for using Brock if his B Samples come back positive they could always say that they've changed their policies and "suspend" him for 30 days. Which would just take him off TV until he due to show up around Survivor Series or the Rumble.

I guess CM Punk was right when he said they will amend the drug policy so that guys can get away with doing drugs

It's a joke I mean look how lucky Roman was he failed the WP right after a PPV and his suspension was convenient enough to where he could come back for the next
Their logic probably is Brock Lesnars time off during most of the wwe events is him serving his suspension so why would he need to be suspended from the 1 of 3 matches he fights during the year

Once again it's a case of WWE playing favorites. If anyone outside of their top guys was nailed they would have been suspended immediately.

Look at Billy Gunn his failed drug test during a weight lifting contest cost him his job but Brock Lesnar no

Good news for WWE all round.
Why bother calling for Brock to be suspended? He's one of the biggest box office draws left in the industry. Suspending him now would just cost us a SummerSlam main event, and for what? So Brock is gone for a month? He's gone every month!
Don't make the assumption that a world renowned star like Brock Lesnar is on an even keel with anyone in WWEs locker room. Or Billy Gunn. As long as he brings main stream attention to WWE, he can do what he likes.
I'd be willing to bet that with all of this drug storm going on right now, next week's RAWs ratings will make for pleasant reading for WWE. As will the Summerslam buy rates, and that's all you need to know about Brock Lesnar and why he's exempt from WWEs limp "wellness policy."

From what I heard, he tested positive for clomid which isn't anything crazy. It restores natural testosterone and gets the boys functioning better. He might be trying to have a kid.. Who knows? Better yet.. Who cares? Definitely not worth suspending your biggest draw in the company.

Honestly surprised they punished Reigns. We all know that the Wellness Policy is a joke. Orton already failed like 17 tests, while plenty have been released for one violation.
