As per PWInsider, this new diktat has not gone so well with the roster.

“PWInsider.com is told that the workouts could begin as early as next week with talents taking part in drills and perhaps even matches in order to make sure their ring work is sharper," wrote Johnson. "This is believed to be a Vince McMahon edict.”

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has now reported that some superstars are not happy with the new edict coming from Vince McMahon. The report stated that while superstars who live in Orlando don't have much of a problem, the talent that lives far from the performance center see it as an inconvenience.
