Not really, because they don't do that. They've never released that sort of information. When it *does* come out, it's either directly from the suspended (Adam Rose), the situation was in the news prior to suspension (RVD) or someone like Meltzer gets word from someone on the side. Just read Meltz Twitter, it wasn't weed because that just gets you fined not suspended. Roman doesn't strike me as the type who would do coke or hard drugs, so it's probably a tainted supplement. I just hope it's not the same kind of thing that Adam Rose allegedly got busted for, like some kind of supplement or medication that was necessary for his general health and the suspension just came about from forgetting the paperwork. Because if the same parts of the fanbase that were calling for leniency for Rose are calling for Reigns's head on a stick for the same matter, then that would say a hell of a lot about them as people, and none of them good. |

While I would wait for more details before reaching conclusions about the suspension itself, I will say that, if Reigns comes back from suspension and immediately takes back the title, I may just be done with WWE for a while.

Given Roman response from eariler, I don't think that the case. And if that was the case, I can see WWE giving Roman some time to provide the paperwork before suspending him. Unlike Rose, Roman is being groom to take Cena place in WWE and I can't see WWE wasting all that time and money without giving Roman a chance to prove his innocent. |

Here's the problem with that: Reigns immediately distinguished his violation from Rose's by saying "No excuses, I own it." Those are his exact words. If more details come out that exonerate him, nobody can play the "I told you so!" card because Reigns actively took the fall. I think I understand why he would do that even if he wasn't in the wrong (he'd want to distance himself from Rose), but you can't fault people for not reading Roman's mind. |

My Question is how are Afa and Sika taking this? They were first wild and were going to issue a statement but Samoan time behind closed doors eased their feelings Now they're positively Afa-ble. On a more serious note, it's not just that they're putting him on next week's RAW to write him out, the news broke before the Smackdown taping. Why not write him out there? News might not have traveled fast enough to get the insane reaction I think we're all predicting, plus it'd build up Smackdown before this split to have something, you know, important happen on it so it's not automatically the B-Show again. |

For Reigns, it's a massive blunder. He's not trying to pass it off as a mistake which is good, but it could also be something that he has zero wiggle room on anyway.
The company has put a metric ton of faith and trust behind him and this'll hurt that, no doubt. It doesn't mean he'll be jobbing in midcard tags now, but it will cloud opinion on him and he has a lot of hard work ahead of him. If he felt the crowd could be vicious before, this is going to be an unpleasant surprise when he returns.
My gut feeling is actually that he'll compete at Battleground but won't win the match.
Obviously we also don't know what he tested positive for and won't unless it's leaked info. The rush to just assume steroids is guesswork.
As well, what a golden opportunity for Ambrose. A month to make as big an impact as possible and really aim to put on the best work you can on the mic and in the ring, regardless of material just make it shine. And actually for Rollins, too.
Lastly, I can't believe some people are upset he'll be on Raw next week to be written off. You really want to miss out on THAT kind of crowd reaction?

Well, yeah. If this is what it takes for WWE to dial back on the Reigns love fest, then so be it. |

So everyone who expressed sympathy for Rose wants Reigns to suffer? Can you prove that? Have you been spending time cross referencing posts? And none will show any sympathy to Reigns if it's shown that it was a similar case. How did you acquire that information? Mind reading or time travel? The strawman arguments when it comes to Reigns sometimes beggars belief. |

The strawman arguments when it comes to Reigns sometimes beggars belief. All I was asking for was consistency if the circumstances that led to them getting their Wellness suspension turned out to be the exact same, and for there not to be any bias because Rose was just an enhancement talent and Reigns is the company golden child. Simple. |

On september 2007, Randy Orton was busted for violating the wellness programma. Just a month later at No Mercy, ha was given the title not once, but twice... |

The fact they haven't said what caused the violation is interesting. You would think that if this was caused by a prescription not being filed on time or something that they'd want to get in front of this quickly, especially since it's Roman Reigns. No leaks, either. $10 says someone got blindsided or didn't time their casual toots just right. Fool, Roman Toots as he pleases! |
