Brock Lesnar will not be facing any discipline from WWE in the near future and they explained why

Brock Lesnar returned to the octagon earlier this month at UFC 200 and things went pretty well, as he earned himself a decision win over one of the best heavyweights the company has in Mark Hunt. However, things after the fight took place did not go as swimmingly, as Lesnar failed two USADA drug tests, on in-competition and one out-of-competition.
With this came questions about whether or not another one of his current employers, WWE, would take any action against him in the form of a suspension. As we all know, they have a Wellness Policy in place and they have even recently suspended their top star in Roman Reigns for violating that policy. Even though Lesnar failed the tests for UFC competition, it still might be a bad look for WWE to sit back and do nothing.
Well, they are doing nothing, and they recently explained to TMZ why.
"“WWE’s talent wellness program does not apply to part-time performers such as Brock Lesnar,” the spokesperson said."
For those of us that know the relationship between Brock Lesnar and WWE, we all sort of figured that this would be the response they would use. Lesnar is not a full-time performer for the company, rather he only shows up a few times a year to pop a television rating or compete at one of the major events. His last appearance in a WWE ring was back in April at the WrestleMania 32 event in Dallas.
Next up he will be heading to SummerSlam on August 21 to take on Randy Orton.
