UPDATE: According to Meltzer, the WWE knew about the test failure BEFORE the Money in the Bank PPV event, this past Sunday.
After calculating the suspension, it appears that Roman Reigns will be missing a lot whilst he’s out.
As per the Policy, Roman is not allowed to appear anywhere on WWE programming for the next 30 days, which will be the 21st of July. In between then is the entire build for the next PPV, Battleground (which occurs on the 24th), and the official Draft for the WWE’s Brand Split (which occurs on the 19th).
No word on how the WWE will adapt to this in regards to a top star’s suspension, but it doesn’t look good. More details as they come. [S]
Original Post:
The Big Dog just got sent to the doghouse. See what I did there? No? Don’t care? Well, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns just got suspended for 30 days, for violating WWE’s Wellness Policy. Reigns posted the following on Twitter:
I apologize to my family, friends and fans for my mistake in violating WWE’s wellness policy. No excuses. I own it.

No word on what Roman was caught with, but this is still a surprise considering how much WWE has been pushing him since 2014. This is a big loss for the WWE at the moment, so it makes me wonder what will happen with Roman when he returns… I guess we’ll see in 30 days.
