10 Superstars Who Gained The Most From WWE's Wellness Policy

10. Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio was the ultimate underdog story that WrestleMania moments are made of in 2006. Mysterio was fighting in honour of Eddie Guerrero, his friend who passed away suddenly in 2005. Guerrero's death was a leading factor in WWE creating the Wellness Policy to begin with.

After winning the Royal Rumble in January, Mysterio seemed a likely choice to upset then World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle and fellow triple threat challenger Randy Orton at WrestleMania 22. Then, Orton pretty much guaranteed it.

In the weeks prior to WrestleMania 22, Orton was allegedly (WWE didn't officially announce what happened) caught rolling a joint backstage. Any chance Orton had of going over at 'Mania was gone and his 60-day suspension after the event helped guarantee Mysterio's title reign would not be cut short.

Technically, this suspension was not handled under the Wellness Policy, but it's exactly the kind of conduct the policy was put in place to prevent.
