What if his appearance on Monday (which I don't think will happen) was a pre-tape where he apologizes for the failure, talks about taking the next 30 days to reflect on what happened and how he will return at the PPV to win the title and how he'll be a better man? Maybe even use it in the heel turn he may or may not be doing. That might be the best course of action. I really don't know what else they could do that would be remotely believable. His suspension was on the front page of ESPN.com for Pete's sake. |

I don't take Meltzer & Friends that seriously. They often report complete garbage that is either some sort of wacky theory or something fed to them to work them.
If Reigns' failure was known about before the PPV, they had a million ways to write him out that would have actually made sense. He certainly wouldn't have been on Raw the next night. They whiz-quizzed at the PPV or Raw (probably Raw), and the longer it goes without someone leaking what the infraction was, the more I suspect it was for something that is definitely not the kind of failure the PR-obsessed WWE wants to get out.

I haven't read the entire thread but does this officially end the big starts aren't effects theory that's gone in for years?. I mean if they are going to let sunnier slide wouldn't he be one of them ?

Well,Reigns is getting 2 raws and a ppv Orton got a PPV and a Smackdown I think? Im not 100% I remember Angle breaking his ankle. My memory is foggy, but didn't Orton technically fail it 3 times, but one of the times he ended up suspended for something else entirely? |

Turns out Roman went back in time and deflowered Stephanie after all.

Orton was suspended over non-drug test issues once or twice, and in the Signature Pharmacy scandal his name was involved but he had already been suspended for what he had from that so there was no punishment. |

He took the heat for Eugene trashing a hotel room and served 30 days for that. |

Hmm...just noticed it but does Reigns look bigger to any of you? If not bigger but more lean? This was him 2 months ago. I checked after I heard Meltzer say he noticed something. Idk. Dude looked massive at Money In The Bank. In the shoulders/upper-body. |

Orton was suspended for failing wellness prior to the Signature Pharmacy bust in 2006(?), and so wasn't suspended with everybody else once names came out. He was also suspended for trashing a hotel room, when it was actually Eugene who trashed the room and Orton took the heat for it since Eugene would've gotten canned for it. |

Btw Raw Viewership: 8pm: 3.420 9pm: 3.562 10pm: 3.420 Avg: 3.467 Dat Ambrose champion push. Dat "no NBA finals" push. Ratings have been bad for months. I'm not the biggest basketball fan, but I don't think the NBA finals have been going on that long. |

For punishment, Roman should be required to wear a sombrero in the ring for a month or two. The announce team no-sells the sombrero like it's not even there.
His booking is about how he is more concerned with his ill-fitting sombrero than the match at hand. Eventually the angle is dropped with no payoff, and is never alluded to again.

The NBA Playoffs started in mid-April, so they lasted about two months. That said, IIRC, they weren't doing so hot going into Mania and right after it as well. |

I'm completely shocked. Maybe it was painkillers, I don't know but there are so many questions this raises. Just wanna say, to all the goofballs that insist that the wellness policy is rigged and WWE protects their favorites, here's this L for you. Piping hot, fresh out the oven! Hate that I can only give this but one like. |
