WWE Superstar Roman Reigns Suspended

Pretty wild that they managed to get the belt off him and establish his role in the next PPV before they found out about this but I guess life sometimes just shakes out that way huh

These things always coincidentally occur after someone drops a belt.
An obvious ploy to undermine the legitimacy of Ambrose as champion and make him look weak, while keeping Roman strong.

I see through WWEs cheap games.

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
Huh? Blaming WWE because Roman failed their wellness test? That's rich.

"The internet" sure is filling up those arenas IRL, then..
They spend more than casual fans, significantly more

We have a ton of people watch Raw every week even though they hate the product

Sometimes people are just plain stupid and can't walk away

Word was already going around on reddit and cagesideseats before RAW yesterday about the wellness suspension. See http://www.cagesideseats.com/2016/6...-roman-reigns-rumor-on-him-dropping-the-title

Wouldn't be surprised if WWE knew before MitB since the betting odds shifted a lot a day before the event.

I do think it's weird that, right after wwe tweeted his suspension, Roman tweeted his apologies, wwe immediately retweeted it and even put his tweet on the site.

Almost looks like a work....but Vince would never do this to us right guys

They wouldn't have set up the next PPV like they did if they knew ahead of time. It would make no sense. The draw was it being a Shield triple-threat match.
It's still a triple threat match. He's back in time. JUST COINCIDENTALLY

This is really bad for him internally because Vince's insane vision was for him to be Cena 2.0, which doesn't make ANY sense given his personality.

Just looked at another websites forums and the webmaster there claims to have gotten an email on Monday 13th saying Roman failed a test, but didn't run with it because it was just some guy and not a source. Huh.
 
Right, the WWE is not the same as their audience. WWE gives wellness tests.

Just because they give him the tests doesn't mean they can't also be the ones responsible for putting him in a high-pressure situation he wasn't prepared for and doing nothing to address that pressure, leading him to drug use.

Right. It's 2016. Every fan is basically an "internet fan," casual or not. You could make these claims in 1997 maybe, but come on..

I feel bad for Roman. You can tell some of the chants get to him too. He's put on better matches than ambrose.
Seriously. It's no wonder it happened. He needed a safe place, but got nothing but hostility by a bunch of gross Internet smark nerds.
 
At least he gets 30 days of rest. He's been putting in a lot of work while everyone was out with injuries. #StillBelieve

Sucks that Dean is the champ as a result of this though.

No, they are nowhere near the same kind of fan. Not even close.

were the steroids supposed to make Roman appear powerful?
Steroids increase muscle growth to a huge degree, if that's what he was suspended for. Yes, he would actually BE more powerful if he was using steroids.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

You might even say appearing powerful is "looking strong." But yeah, steroids just make you actually strong.

You guys are gonna be sad when you find out he was doing heroin to cope with all the boos.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
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

Good. He just wasn't THE guy, no matter how adequately guys like AJ made him look.

It's just a co-ordinated announcement.
 
I kinda hate how this came out because now we know the only reason Dean is champion is because Reigns fucked up and the only reason Seth won cleanly was because Reigns fucked up...Never change WWE.
