Roman Reigns just signed his own death warrant. Why now of all times to get busted violating the wellness policy?

He's never going to win over the fans now if he becomes the reason we never see The Shield triple threat.

I can't imagine how @Deezy feels about this. Reigns was finally on his way to be THE GUY. For real this time.

Holy Shit.

Bad Roman. Bad.

 

[Deezy]

Hes the chosen one, Orton fucked up three times and wasn't fired, he's going to go back to his spot upon his return.

Time for others to step up and try take his spot.

Anyone know what he popped for? PEDs? Recreational?

I definitely don't think Reigns is getting fired and I'm sure he's got similar stroke to Randy Orton, but I don't think he'll go right back to be pushed either. He's got take some kind of lumps before WWE can trust him with a top spot again.

I haven't seen anything concrete yet. It's pretty tight lipped so far.

 

[Deezy]

He'll be back to his original spot, if those neckbearded mongoloids try talk shit, heel turn and we'll get The Bad Guy we deserve and this will be nothing but documentary fodder in the long run.

Nobody will or could take his spot.

That being said....

Time for a Darren Young push then. The company needs a TOP guy.

Hes a bottom....definitely a catcher.

 

[Jimmy King]

At least he owned up to it.

 

[Deezy]

Too many mongoloids going to assume it's steroids....nobody with a brain and money has done steroids since the 90s.

They got better PEDs nowadays.

We've got no idea what he was busted for but Deezy is right. He's gonna get the Orton treatment, it'll be swept under the rug. He'll be back in time for Battleground.

It explains why he dropped the title to Seth though, WWE had to have known about before hand.

Either way, he's not gonna lose his spot and I don't think this changes anything. He'll still be World Champ at Summerslam.

I doubt WWE would have let Roman Reigns appear on Raw if they knew about his suspension before MITB.

I don't remember Randy Orton coming back from his suspensions to immediately being in the main event again. IIRC he was feuding over the world title beforehand and upon return had small feuds for while. I can't see WWE not dogging Reigns for at least a few months over this.

 

[Deezy]

Jeff Hardy got popped and had to lose the ic title as a result the following Monday.

Guys like Orton, Umaga, Kennedy all had to get injury angles after it was announced they tested positive.

A guy in Reigns position getting suspended really legitimizes the wellness policy again. Especially is someone like Brock doesn't piss hot from his reported 5 USADA tests he took right after his fight was announced.

Reigns will be wrestling at Battlegrounds in the 3 way.

Comes back 3 days before it. Just make him eat the pin simple.

One thing that does bug me is WWE knew about it at MITB, why couldn't Seth beat Roman clean again and then proceed to injure him or something along the lines of that? Could have had Seth/Dean at Battlegrounds and have it end with Roman attacking both guys. Then 3 way at Summerslam.
