According to a WWE source who spoke with Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer in regards to the new addition to the WWE Wellness Policy of banning somas, the individual (speaking from personal experience) felt it would not only lead to increases in pain, but also decreases in motivation. The source added, “I point this out because I want you to begin keeping tabs on the changes you will be seeing in workrate and match quality among certain wrestlers, due to the new drug policy in WWE.”
