You can say Hardy wasn't a main eventer, but every source out there says they planned to put the world title on him by summer at the latest. Some said it would be in the spring. And they just spent the last month building up Regal as the main heel on Raw, only to be forced to end it out of nowhere.
And not that I think Vince is cleaning up and cracking down and God Bless America, but it's kind of silly to say they don't care about wellness after they just changed their policy to where the wrestlers actually get strip-searched beforehand and are stared at while they pee. And it's not like Congress is breathing down their neck at the moment to force them into that change. Supposedly someone in development tried to cheat with a Whizanator or something, and they immediately changed the policy across the board. That's surprisingly pro-active.
The idea that WWE just ignores the test results if it's Cena or HHH or Batista has never been valid, because it would absolutely kill the credbility of the testing agency they're associated with if that info ever came out. And they've had to turn over all the test result records to the government anyway, so the lab would have to be in on it with WWE to get away with that. And that's even more unlikely.
