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.
(At least the "steroids" chant will be a nice break from You Can't Wrestle.)
Sunday's result sort of seems like they knew, but why wouldn't they just have Rollins win again on Monday if they knew? So maybe they didn't? Or is there something going else on? You can go down some great paranoid rabbit holes on this one.

I think I saw somewhere else that he was out of Battleground, although that could have just been people botching the math.

Still a less convincing apology than the ones Anderson and Gallows offered last night.
You wanted the best, you got... the Out of Context Quote of the Week.

That brand split is looking more and more promising.
They had to have known, which makes the handling of this weird, but everything they have done with Reigns has made little sense so why change things now?

I have no doubt that WWE knew about this violation days ago, that the Ambrose title win was booked solely in response to it, and that the Battleground main event was booked with it already in mind. And I also wouldn't be surprise if Reigns immediately wins the belt back when he returns to main event the show.

I was thinking the same thing re the title change.
I'm interested in what they do in the future with him. I have to imagine that the windows were rattling at Titan Towers at this though. "We pushed you like superman. We kept you in the main event despite no one liking you. And THIS is what you do!" Or is he likely to just be in trouble for getting caught???
Anyway, when will HHH come back and put the belt on himself again?
Timing Reigns' Wellness suspension to make sure he doesn't miss any PPVs, while suspending Titus O'Neil 60 days for nothing & having him miss Wrestlemania is a really bad look.
I hadn't tuned into WWE for a while, and thought he looked kind of stockier, although that might have just been the outfit. But I'm guessing this is probably painkillers/recreational drugs & not steroids, yeah?

Things always worked out for Randy Orton despite the strikes, so Reigns will be fine.
