In February 2006, the WWE introduced the company's Wellness Policy, after the sudden death of beloved star Eddie Guerrero, which was linked to years of substance abuse.

Though many link the policy to just drug testing, there is an array of things tested to keep Superstars save, including "brain function, substance abuse and drug testing, annual physicals, and health care referrals," according to WWE.com.

The results have shown, as Superstars dealing with substance issues has shot way down now that the policy has been introduced.

And when the top star and then WWE World Champion Roman Reigns got suspended in 2016, it showed that nobody, not even the company's next top babyface, is above the rules.

To put it frank, the Wellness Policy has saved lives, and that's definitely a good thing.
