— With the revelation that WWE treats failed drug tests in WWE and NXT differently by announcing the main roster ones but keeping the NXT ones hidden, it has begun to create an atmosphere where all absences in NXT of more than 30 days are looked at as being suspicious.
— Since WWE holds NXT talent to the same drug testing protocol, but by not publicizing any suspensions, anyone who now misses time for a minor injury, a person leave of absence or a health issue is now being rumored to have failed a test. For some absences this may be true, but by not making failed tests public, it is now grouping the innoncent in with the guilty.
