Now the booking makes sense. Get the belt off of him, let him do his 30 days, then give it back to him at the PPV.

He's still the guy. He's gonna come back and win the title day one.

NOTHING will stand between Vince and his chosen guy short of killing his wife, kid and himself

I honestly hope that people stop being so vicious with him now that he doesn't have the belt. He should not have been pushed to be the champ so the booing during his, uh, reign made sense. But at this point there's no reason to boo him as a human being other than schadenfraude and herd mentality.

He would make a great asshole heel.

Roman will be booed mercilessly so long as the public perception is that Dean is simply keeping Roman's title warm for him and that he's rooted in the main event for the next 15 years. One clean loss in 4 years and one slap on the wrist suspension won't alter that perception.

God I can't imagine what the crowds are going to be like when he gets back.

Wonder how they are going to handle him not being present at the draft.

I felt physically uncomfortable last night listening to the crowd while he was in the ring with Seth and Dean.

And that's a good question.

In my opinion .. you don't get booked that strong to lose that cleanly to a returning Seth Rollins who's been on the shelf for 7 months. Anyway, it's speculation on my part.

However, "if" they knew about it .. the booking as a result doesn't make sense.

I mean we can speculate, but dude just took roids. C'mon, buddy.

To me, this confirms Dean is holding the belt until Summerslam.

I do think WWE would have the audacity to put the belt back on Reigns at Battleground but I just don't think they will.

Times like these I wish I had more "REAL WORLD" wrestling friends.

Well at least I told my one co-worker who likes it.

Wow. Crazy.

Between losing clean to Seth and this I wonder if WWE is done pushing him as a top guy. At the very least he's always got the Orton spot.

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.

The fans aren't responsible. It was WWE's responsibility to give them what they want and instead they continued to push the poor guy despite all the negativity because of their stubbornness which is what lead to this. They're the ones at fault, not us.

I'm no Roman fan, but that dude has put on some decent matches since he won the belt. Hearing fans chant you can't wrestle at him is legitimately embarrassing for all wrestling fans. Even if he isn't the best worker in the company have a sense of fucking decorum. That's his career.

There is no evidence to support this. I feel this caught wwe by surprise.i anticipate, moving forward, wwe won't be quick to announce a main event card to a ppv a night after one just ended.

When a top guy gets suspended, they always massage the timing if there's title/PPV stuff to work around. They knew before today.

It is the only way fans can tell the back aka vince what they like and don't like.

My favorite part of this is that Vince hates pushing smaller guys because their body breaks down. Yet, the guy he wants to push...

This was Vince's guy. Well done, Vinny.

So basically WWE put the belt on Dean only because they were forced to?
Click to expand...

No .. they could have put and kept the title on Rollins. I like Dean .. I really do .. but his matches have been sub-par with the exception being him vs. Triple H. Jericho matches .. yuck. One thing on his side is that he's been reliable ... including live shows.

If they suspended him yesterday, ok, they had the ppv and all. But let the ppv and raw pass to suspend him? I don't think so
