Jon Moxley going to Rehab because of issues with alcohol abuse
Im no fan of his or AEW but i wish him the evry best and to get better and healty to have a long happy life.
that said, i spend a lot of time on twitter today, and people where hating on AEW and WWE for not helping former or current employees and so on. now, i dont know about AEWs wellness police and if they have one, but hating on WWE and saying the never helpend made me angry, cause i know for a fact that they do help people, even former employees.
soooooo, i searched the net and put together some information for everyone who wants to read this:
1) Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy ( thats actually on wwes page)
https://corporate.wwe.com/what-we-do/talent/substance-abuse-and-drug-testing-policy#C1
here is a quote i found extremely interesting, becaus the Usos and Jeff Hardy got mentioned alot in hate comments. now we know why there was no suspension in case of duis

The we have this Quote from JR dating back to 2011
âWWE spends thousands of dollars on former wrestlers rehab treatment annually BUT 1st wrestlers have to want help. Canât make em go.â
A fan asked if this included former employees like Matt Hardy. Ross responded: âWWEâs offer is good for any alums. BUT they have 2 want 2 be helped.â

4) of course there are other cases
we all know Chynas story and it is an incredibly sad one. theres nothing more to say. she was and will always be my favorite but im not going to blame wwe in general about her. .... call me crazy, but i think her not getting help has more to do with stephanie than anything else.
WWE no longer paying for Tammy âSunnyâ Sytchâs rehab

and i get why they stopped paying for her treatments. as sad as this sounds.
5) also they offer Mental Health Counselling To Talent
