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

Randy Orton had 2 strikes, and they not only kept pushing him as one of the company's top stars, but introduced a system to let him nullify his strikes...

 

[styl3s]

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

They still haven't lost faith in Orton and he failed this test what? 37 times?

 

[mreddie]

If it was weed, COME THE FUCK ON.

 

[The Elite]

Like that he isn't making any excuses for himself

https://twitter.com/WWERomanReigns/status/745330978369867776

He seems like a decent enough guy. They really fucked him up.

 

[Couleurs]

Fans are going to be BRUTAL when he comes back.

God damn.

Nothing a little mute button won't fix

 

[iMax]

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

PPV ratings.

 

[SecretMoblin]

satch lost

 

[Tagyhag]

They're wasting the Shield triple threat on Battleground?

Laaaameeeee.

 

[Nerdkiller]

Is Cena the only superstar immune to the Wellness Policy?

Randy Orton?

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Gotta hand it to him, this is the most I've ever cared about Roman Reigns since...ever.

 

[SallyIsNow]

If it was weed, COME THE FUCK ON.

I think RVD said that's just a fine.

 

[Zach]

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

You're going to give yourself a nosebleed.

 

[FStop7]

Weed, painkillers, or gear?

 

[Discotheque]

WOW!!!!

Dean's top dog now.

gross. shouldn't being off your meds be a violation of the wellness policy too?

it's time to commit the lunatic fringe

 

[LiK]

If it was weed, COME THE FUCK ON.

Family friendly

 

[VoxPop]

Randy Orton?

He's been popped nearly a dozen times

 

[funkystudent]

LOLOLOL

Randy Orton?

They changed the wellness policy so they wouldnt risk firing him so thats something.

Guys like Cena and Triple H probably just dont even get tested.

 

[The Elite]

Weed, painkillers, or gear?

I hate that we're calling it gear now.

Can we stop calling it gear?

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

You'd think with so many wrestlers dying they'd stay off shit.

This guy seems so bland and generic. He's like a a CAW. Even his name is dumb.

 

[norm9]

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

Kids can't get enough of his rope-a-dope falling out of the ring clothesline.

ETA- The real wrestling fans love the borderline pg-13 insanity of Ambrose. He's crazzzy!

 

[Data West]

Cena breaking Flair's record coming sooner than expected

 

[Jezbollah]

They're wasting the Shield triple threat on Battleground?

Laaaameeeee.

Nah. It'll be the first triple threat of many. They wanted to headline this year's WM with the Shield triple threat - and that went south due to Rollins' knee injury.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

They took "Make Roman look strong" a little bit too literally.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Cena breaking Flair's record coming sooner than expected

Also Vince.

Its pretty clearly the fans' fault in this.

Roman, who is doing the best job he can, was given too much too soon, and the fanbase rejected him. How do you cope with people hating you?

Some people drink. Some people smoke. Some people hit the weight room even harder. Who knows? All I know is the fans did this, and they should be ashamed. First they run off Batista because of Daniel Bryan, now this. Fortunately Batista did great for himself, but Roman has personal demons that came to light after this kind of treatment.

Thanks, WWE Universe.

 

[MassiveNights]

It's not weed, that is just a fine

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I bet he can't even speak Cantonese.

 

[Sarobi]

He's not a good guy.
He's not a bad guy.
He's the suspended guy.

How do you cope with people hating you?

You become a heel

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Shit. This is unexpected, especially with last nights events. I wonder how they will handle the month-long absence, or how they will explain it.

 

[BobTheFork]

LOLOLOL

Even if they knew, they wouldn't risk having to publicly state Cena got clipped.

[Tagyhag]

Nah. It'll be the first triple threat of many. They wanted to headline this year's WM with the Shield triple threat - and that went south due to Rollins' knee injury.

Still, I always felt like the first triple threat should have been a Mania match. Even if they had to wait for 2017 due to injury.

 

[FStop7]

I hate that we're calling it gear now.

Can we stop calling it gear?

Maybe it's a European thing? I picked the term up from a cycling forum a few years ago.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

lol

 

[Heel]

You could say Roman just wanted to...


look strong.

This is just a troll account, but there's gonna be people that actually think this. So. . .

 

[Syder]

Suspended. Baleee Dat.

 

[jmdajr]

Cause he'll be back in time.

BATTLEGROUND is July 24th!

 

[DMczaf]

Officially, the worst title run since Diesel.

 

[Sephzilla]

this gets me every time

 

[Nerdkiller]

He's been popped nearly a dozen times

I know that, it's just that I don't find it surprising that he seems to be an exception to testing these days. Just another reason why I find him to be my least favourite of the entire roster today.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

The future of the WWE now, friends.

thanks friend, i know i can always count on you to make me laugh

Stop it. I already made a similar joke.

 

[Tom Nook]

Randy Orton Rule

....wrestlers who have two strikes against them and who stay clean for 18 months can have one strike deleted.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Did they announce what he took? Wonder if it was something obvious like steroids or if it was like one of those banned additives that was in some supplement he bought online.

Either way, I hope they have plans to reinforce the structure of the Verizon Center. When he comes back for Battlegrounds they're going to boo so loud it'll shake the building apart.

I don't know if you're being serious or not but I really fear for his mental health. I don't know how I would handle so much hatred and vitriol coming towards me on a nightly basis. It isn't even "heat" from being a heel or whatever, it's legit hatred coming from the shit community of the internet. I hope he has a good support group and people legitimately looking out for him.

 

[jmdajr]

This is just a troll account, but there's gonna be people that actually think this. So. . .

I blame Punk.

MAMAMAMAMMAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONG!

Maybe he did feel the pressure. Like FOR REAL.

It's not going to get any easier coming back.

 

[The Elite]

I think actually running with news of the suspension in story would be a bad idea. Smart fans are already on his case. Hell, that's most people these days. I don't know, maybe you have to run with it just so you don't look stupid for coming up with an excuse. Everyone knows.
