STAMFORD, Conn. — WWE has suspended Joe Anoa`i (Roman Reigns) for 30 days effective immediately for his first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.

This is fresh off of Roman losing the WWE World Heavyweight Title cleanly to Seth Rollins at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view (and also probably explains why he was booked to lose). Conveniently, Roman will be back in time for WWE's next pay-per-view, Battleground, where he's booked in the main event against Dean Ambrose (c) and Seth Rollins.

IT WAS OPIUM

 

[wild wild rice]

Wonder what it was?

 

[Brinbe]

So that's why he dropped the belt...

Idiot.

 

[imBask]

THE steroids

 

[cirrhosis]

i bet it was the marijuanas

 

[TemplaerDude]

Whaaaaaaattttttt

Is this a work?

 

[The Elite]

Gotta look strong.

 

[Tansut]

This is the best thing they've done with his character.

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

I wonder if this shakes WWE's faith in him at all.

 

[kirblar]

Amazing that THAT is what it took for them to finally get it on Dean.

 

[Eidan]

Is Cena the only superstar immune to the Wellness Policy?

 

[LiK]

only 30 days. lucky.

 

[Acerac]

Well that decides who gets the title shot then....

*Edit*

Oh, didn't realize the PPV date. Shame.

 

[El Topo]

Did he get caught using opium or is this some WrassleGAF meme bullshit, Bronson?

 

[Jerm411]

THE steroids

It wasn't a bad needle...it wasn't a good needle....it was THE needle.

 

[The Elite]

I wonder if this shakes WWE's faith in him at all.

Thirty days. Back for the PPV. Hell, I expect them to put the belt right back on him.

 

[Coldnoodle]

TIME TO GET BURIED

 

[Sephzilla]

Is Cena the only superstar immune to the Wellness Policy?

 

[VoxPop]

He just wanted to stop wearing the plastic bulletproof vest

LOL good callback, I remember that podcast. Pretty funny.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

So they couldn't get it to 90 huh?

Jokes aside, hope he learns his lesson. No one's perfect.

LOL good callback, I remember that podcast. Pretty funny.

Hey I remember when you made this post! Huh-larious.

 

[jmdajr]

Fans are going to be BRUTAL when he comes back.

God damn.

 

[Zach]

If they don't let him juice then the dream of vest-less Roman Reigns is dead.

What a story maggle, he fought his demons and now he's back on top

 

[shwimpy]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiet

 

[Tom Nook]

WOW!!!!

Dean's top dog now.

 

[Hot Coldman]

he got into Dwayne's stash

 

[Piston Hyundai]

even more odds for the chosen one to overcome

 

[jmdajr]

WOW!!!!

Dean's top dog now.

Good thing he got off the juice!

 

[Savitar]

He'll stay on strike two forever once that rolls around ala Orton.

 

[Chamber]

Whoa...

 

[bigkrev]

Amazing that THAT is what it took for them to finally get it on Dean.

Why would they have set up a PPV main event for him last night if they knew this was coming?

 

[MadLaughter]

Though he might be back for battleground, he'll still be suspended for the draft, I think?

 

[Zabka]

Is that why there was a story about betting odds flipping on Sunday?

 

[SallyIsNow]

What a story maggle, he fought his demons and now he's back on top

Lol
You an insider now!?

 

[tj hazuki]

Fans are going to be BRUTAL when he comes back.

God damn.

Not like they already are. lol.

 

[norm9]

It's a blessing. Will give the audience a chance to miss (booing) him.

His match last night against Seth was great, so he CAN perform.

 

[Kusagari]

Why would they have set up a PPV main event for him last night if they knew this was coming?

Because he'll be back by that PPV. This just gets the belt off him in the mean time.

 

[RiccochetJ]

only 30 days. lucky.

That's their default for a first offense.

 

[iMax]

He's not a good guy.
He's not a bad guy.
He's a high guy.

 

[Penguin]

Like that he isn't making any excuses for himself

[jmdajr]

Maybe this was the only way to force Vince to turn him Heel.

 

[Fourth Storm]

This is a work so Roman can return as a heel.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Good thing he got off the juice!

Good memories, when Dean was actually doing arm work. Man, he started looking great.

 

[The Elite]

We just have to look at Dean to know he's not juicing.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Why would they have set up a PPV main event for him last night if they knew this was coming?

Cause he'll be back in time.

 

[Cagey]

It's a blessing. Will give the audience a chance to miss (booing) him.

His match last night against Seth was great, so he CAN perform.

Ring work doesn't matter: how else can you explain why Ambrose is champion?

 

[Wagram]

What an idiot.

 

[Dazzler]

yikes

This was unexpected. Given this and the crowd's continued hostility toward him, I think it's safe to say we've seen the end of his monster push
