It is looking like Brock Lesnar's potential doping violations with the UFC for his fight against Mark Hunt, which he ended up winning, will not affect his standing in WWE.
GameSpot says that the company does not intend on suspending or acting upon The Beast's violations with the MMA Organization, discovered in tests done prior to his UFC comeback. This is primarily because he is a part-time wrestler for WWE.
"WWE's talent wellness program does not apply to part-time performers such as Brock Lesnar," a WWE spokesman told CBS Sports.
"WWE is show business. The policy is not intended to keep the integrity of an athletic competition. It is intended to keep our full-time performers healthy," the representative went on to say.
Lesnar has been a part-time wrestler for WWE for a decade now, having only wrestled 19 times in the last three years. Full-time wrestlers are required to participate in 200 matches or more.
The Beast only stepped into the ring four times in 2014, eight times in 2015 and seven so far this year. That being said, Lesnar's scheduled appearance on WWE's Monday Night Raw on Aug. 1, which will serve as his first appearance since Wrestlemania 32 back in April, will push through.
He will also most certainly be part of the WWE SummerSlam 2016, where he will battle it out with returning superstar Randy Orton on the pay-per-view's main event.
A few days back, Orton, who was on hiatus for nine months due to a shoulder injury, threw shade at Lesnar regarding his violation in the midst of WWE's silence about the matter.
In the ring with Chris Jericho for the Highlight Reel segment, The Viper guaranteed that he will take as many suplexes as he can from The Beast, but he will give Lesnar only one RKO with "no enhancement needed."
Lesnar is also expected to keep his status as the cover athlete for the upcoming 2K Sports game "WWE 2K17."
