    Do they announce these wellness violations on TV? I hardly ever watch Raw these days! Will they try to write him off some other way?

    Love the foreshadowing in the "you can't wrestle" chants at Roman last night.

    No, he most certainly can not now. :)

    It'll most likely be alluded to on either Smackdown or Raw, no way they'll be able to use the "write him out excuse" this time like they did a few weeks prior to Mania this year..

    Reigns needs to learn the value of an injury so he can do growth hormone with a prescription.

    Is it wrong my first reaction to this was uproarious laughter?

    A month earlier and AJ would be World Champion....Reigns can't even f*ck up properly.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this happened last month and that's why Rollins came back at Extreme Rules so they wouldn't have to put the belt on AJ this early into his WWE run.

    Do WWE have this level of control over it? My assumption was that these things were managed independently because otherwise surely WWE would turn a blind eye given who it is.

    Apparently the company knew about the **** up by Roman prior to MiTB on Sunday, well according to Bryan Alvarez anyways...

    I guess that explains how rushed the Ambrose push felt. Weird they didn't just go Seth but maybe they felt Seth wasn't up to a rigorous programme.

    All the WWE partnered sites are reporting on this even the likes of The Mirror. There's no way they can bring him back as the superman face now.

    Write it into the story, say he was using performance enhancing drugs to try and beat Rollins! That's if they didn't specify what he took...

    Well, it's a big f*ck up on his part. I wonder how this will play into the storyline though.

    Roman's also going to miss the Draft because of his colossal f*ck up.

    Presumably the "you can't wrestle" chants will be replaced when he comes back

    "you can't cycle...you can't cycle"

    Believe that.

    It does make a lot of sense why he kicked out of that spear into a pedigree now though. Surprised it didn't take 4 of them to keep him down!

    Ambrose: "Last week, I hit Roman with the Dirty Deeds and now I'm told he's going to be out of action till Battleground, but ROLLINS, let's fight"

    *No mention of Reigns again till the PPV*

    Well at least it's 30 days of him not having the piss taken out of him.

    Surely coincidental...

    https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/745056166590353408?s=09

    Vince just sold a bunch of stock at $16.50 per share

    When he says "just", he's referring to the stock Vince sold on May 16th so yeah, that's a coincidence

    Vince would have some explaining to do to the Stock Exchange if it wasn't a coincidence.

    Anyone else and plans would change. The Golden Boy though? Vince will brute force his way through this for a month and we'll get the triple threat anyway.

    Unfortunately Battleground is in Washington DC. Somewhere smarky and Reigns would get destroyed, which would be delightful.

    is there any indication of what the failure was over.

    If it was a significant amount of stock, I'd say it's because he isn't confident of the brand split going well. Doubt it has a thing to do with Reigns.

    The PR fail would be of epic proportions if they were brushing it under the carpet in the storyline and carrying on as normal while this was being widely reported in mainstream media.

    Has gotta be Ambrose v Rollins at Battleground. I get that this doesn't tie into the idea that they knew before they took the belt off Reigns and had him become number 1 contender with Rollins, but anything else would be insane now.

    Well I mean more along the lines of will they be quick to put the title back onto him afterwards.

    Rollins continues to thrive on Reigns's failures though!

    Got, what? A 9 month title run purely on account of Reigns failing to get over enough to beat Lesnar? Being forced to do that much mic work has made him largely get past his biggest weakness. Gets injured at a point that means he doesn't have to do all the jobbing and comes back in time to be the guy to beat Reigns after this whole run :D


    Wish it were a heel Ambrose and face Rollins right now though :(

    Steroids would be an interesting violation and one that would bring all kind of questions on WWE.

    I'm softer on Reigns than most so hopefully he just fcuked up recreationally. I wouldn't like to think that all my defending of him against the accusations of just being a roided up meathead was for nowt. :pac:
