Jack Swagger: What's Next and WWE Wellness Policy??

**Saving Grace** · 03-03-2013, 02:01 PM

Any WWE Talent, who is arrested, convicted or who admits to a violation of law relating to use, possession, purchase, sale or distribution of drugs will be in material breach of his/her contract with WWE and subject to immediate dismissal.

B. FOR POSITIVE MARIJUANA DRUG TESTS

In the event of any positive test for marijuana, the WWE Talent shall be fined Two Thousand Five Hundred US Dollars ($2,500.00) per positive test, which shall be deducted from the WWE Talent's downside guarantee.

C. FOR POSITIVE ALCOHOL SUBSTANCE TESTS

In the event of a positive test for alcohol, the WWE Talent shall be fined Two Thousand Five Hundred US Dollars ($2,500.00) per positive test, which shall be deducted from the WWE Talent's downside guarantee.

So with Jack Swagger's recent arrest, i've seen him successfully appear on television consecutively on both Raw and Smackdown since being incarcerated for his DUI, speeding, and possession of Marijuana violation.

I remember when Sabu and RVD got picked up and arrested in Michigan in 2006. RVD for possession of Marijuana and Sabu for cocaine if I do remember correctly (anyone is free to correct me if I am wrong). Sabu got 1st violation and a 30 day suspension. RVD got jobbed out on both the WWE and ECW Title in less than 48 hours and took a 30 day suspension as well. Randy Orton has also served a 30 day suspension as well, and Rey Mysterio has served a 30 and 60 day suspension.

So what's the deal with Jack Swagger? The WWE is still apparently building to him vs ADR for the WHC as the undercard title match of Mania and yet I've seen no reports filed that Swagger has been tagged for fine or suspension.

Per WWE's Wellness policy in section 14 and 15 which I quoted above, he can actually be immediately terminated from his contract for the arrest. He can also be fined for the marijuana, cause it not like its obligatory that if they dropped him for a test, he would be hot.

So yet no violations have been issued from what I have read or seen, and WWE has made it a public purpose in the past that every wellness policy violation has been posted on their website, from the Sabu and RVD incident, the Rey Mysterio, the Randy Ortion, and Evan Bourne violations.

So why is Swagger getting perferential treatment it would seem, and what does this hold for his status with WWE?

What does this say about the administering of WWE's Wellness Policy and future violations and its effectiveness? Is it a joke policy to be enforced selectively and randomly and to keep the fed's off their butts post Beniot incident?

Your thoughts and feelings?
