The write off will be easy, Drs were trying to clear him before the end of the match. Let's call it a concussion.
I guess now he has more time to be a Dad.

Where yo' grandma stay.
Sucks for Roman but at least he'll get to spend some time with his fam'. What did he get suspended for exactly? Has it been reported? I guess the triple threat will be saved for SummerSlam after all...

Reigns isn't that big of a guy. He's muscular but not on the same level as most other juicers in WWE's roster.

This can be anything from painpills to weed. As long as he cleans up before it wrecks his career, I'm all for it.

Also, this makes me wonder if this test was done prior and him losing the title was a way to get it off of him before releasing the info. WWE has been known to have wrestlers make final appearances before suspensions.

This is what Meltzer claims. WWE knew going into Money in the bank that Roman had failed a test. According to him that is

Honestly, I don't doubt that. I've read actual formal studies that claim WWE have done this. Also, the way their biggest star just took a clean pin was kind of odd to me.

Might as well just wait and see confirmed report and info on why, rather than speculating.

inb4 work :reigns4:
Expecting this to be a work is stupid.

The wellness policy is one of the things WWE takes very very very seriously. In part because of the Benoit tragedy, in part because of sponsors and the image they portray. They don't mess with it by working it into the product. Never.

I don't think she was being serious. Why so hostile, broski?

^^^^ I don't find that type of stuff funny.

There was a rumor that Roman got suspended for ignoring doctors orders during the main event at money in the bank after they feared he had suffered a concussion. But it got debunked by the major newsbrokers.

Another news note. Apparently the suspension affected the outcome of two matches at money in the bank. Most likely the MITB match itself (Dean not being the originally intended winner) and the outcome of the main event. Meaning they saw more value in Rollins beating Reigns clean as a whistle and then having him cashed in on, rather than have Dean cash in on a retaining Roman. But this is not 100% confirmed.
