The WWE would obviously love to be as clean as possible from any possible scandal. Their stock and business image is way too connected to their PR and their business relationships. Other promotions like AEW and TNA can afford to be more haphazard with how their implement disciplinary measures, to the extent that they just have to not piss off whatever fans they have too much. Well, in AEW's case they need to look after the TNT relationship.
I'm not surprised that WWE is being careful with this too and not just firing everyone whose name comes up. The last thing they want to do is invite "big bad company" perspectives for firing people who don't deserve it, which could be a hit to their public image on its own, and possibly invite inquisitions into their past as an entity.
