Oh damn

And he still issues a face tweet xD

This was unexpected tho. He lost CLEAN, I thought it was fishy. Pity Rollins was a transitional champion but fuck it, he pinned Reigns.

EDIT: Reigns is not a good guy. He's not a bad guy. He's a 'roid guy.

– Wrestling Observer Radio reports that WWE knew ahead of Money in the Bank about Roman Reigns’ Wellness violation. WWE announced earlier today that Reigns has been suspended for his first violation of the Wellness Policy, and the site reports that the company knew before the PPV, meaning that they knew Reigns was going to be suspended for thirty days before they announced the Battleground triple threat main event last night on Raw.

There are thirty-three days until Battleground, meaning that Reigns will be off suspension and could still compete in the World Heavyweight Championship match against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. Reigns will miss the WWE Draft on July 19th. The site notes that the company had the option to run some sort of suspension angle last night to write him off of television but chose not to. Reigns will miss all episodes of Raw and Smackdown before Battleground due to the suspension.

At this point considering that they announced the match after they knew about the violation, it appears as if the main event of WWE Battleground will go forward as announced last night.

Reviving this just to say that Maffew's came up with two of the best jokes I've seen.
Botchamania 312's ending was awesome

whatever it was, be it steroids or marijuana or whatever, it is still his first violation. He's human we fuck up. I know a lot of people saying it's and hoping it's roids, could be or it could not be. He did own up to it, and rather you think that is the company making him do that or him still trying to be seen as a face and get pity, that takes balls to do. I think they are still going through with the match because it will probably be the only time to do it now with the draft coming up. However I don't think he will be winning the championship, hell I think he will probably and should eat the pinfall in the match. But after that it is time for WWE to stop with trying to make him the face of the company...he needs to go full on heel, because you think the chants where bad before this...it is going to 100x worse for Roman. So take that hate for Roman and make some money out of it.

They should have done that a long time ago

Vince is stubborn who always believes he is right. It probably had to take something like this to make him change his mind.

Also, sad that it takes something like this to finally get them to book a great ending to a PPV.
