WWE informed all of their contracted talents during the Christmas week that as of February 21st, 2016 they will begin conducting random checks with insurance providers to make sure that the information talents have provided the company regarding their personal medical insurance is correct, up to date and in order, according to a report from PWInsider.com.

The report notes that WWE began requiring all of their contracted talents to personally purchase and maintain medical insurance for themselves back in May 2011 and that WWE covers the costs of all in-ring related medical issues and injuries, including surgeries and physical therapy and that in the announcement to talents, the WWE, noting that the health of their talents is a priority, told them that should the company learn that they do not have their medical insurance in order, then those talents will be told that they need to immediately rectify that situation and if they do not, the company have stated that the talents could become unavailable to be used by the company, meaning that in effect, the company will “bench” talents if their medical insureance is not in order.
