After the death of WWE legend Eddie Guerrero in November 2005, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and WWE officials launched the Wellness Policy. The policy restricted WWE superstars from using drugs before a fight and made sure any medical conditions didn't go unnoticed. The policy states that every superstar had to go through every necessary test. If a superstar denies taking the test, then he/she can be suspended for a particular amount of time.

Despite this, many superstars have been suspended under the Wellness Policy since 2007. 2014 was a suspension-free year. In December 2019, Robert Roode and Primo Colon were suspended for 30 days under the policy. After a month, United States Champion Andrade failed to take the test and was also suspended for 30 days.
