#2 WWE Stars need permission to undergo medical procedures

As part of their contracts, the WWE will pay for surgery if superstars have injuries that affect their in-ring performance.
It’s a very positive rule, with medical costs for athletes in the United States often running into the hundreds of thousands. However, for a superstar to get much-needed surgery, they have to plead their case to the company, with Paige, once again, being in the company’s bad books for this.

Even though the former Diva Champion's doctors said she needed surgery, the company refused, as their own physicians said it wasn’t needed. Getting the surgery anyway, Paige was out for almost a year, returning briefly before announcing her retirement in April last year.
Now no longer the SmackDown Live General Manager, it’s a scary thought of how much worse her life could’ve been if she’d not gone for the surgery, and gotten even more hurt in a match on the company’s watch.
