QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED IN THE WAKE OF ROMAN REIGNS' WWE SUSPENSION

By Mike Johnson on 2016-06-21 15:54:00

With the announcement today that WWE has suspended Roman Reigns for a failure of the WWE Wellness Policy, here are some quick questions that we might not get immediate answers to, but are worth asking today:

*What did Reigns fail for, if anything?  After all, Hornswoggle has made it public that his own lone Wellness suspension happened because he couldn't provide a urine sample in the time allotted for him by testers.  So, what caused the suspension for Reigns?

*If Reigns failed a Wellness test, when did he take it?

*When did WWE get the results?   Did WWE know of the results before Tuesday 6/21?

*Could this be the first ever occurrence of WWE changing their World Heavyweight championship because a Wellness test failure?  It's happened with secondary belts but never for the most important title in the company. [Note: Rob Van Dam lost the WWE title because he was arrested, not because he failed a Wellness test.]

*How much will WWE creative change as of tonight considering that just last night, they set the stage for the Battleground main event?

*With Reigns suspended until July 21st, how does WWE handle him at the Draft on 7/19?

*If Reigns is suspended until 7/21, does that mean Reigns gets to keep his main event at the Battleground PPV on 7/24?  He would technically have served his penance and would be cleared to wrestle that night, correct?

*Should WWE reward Reigns with a return from suspension with a PPV main event?  If so, what message would that send to the locker room and the audience?

*Plus, If WWE decides to keep him in the Battleground main event, how will they explain his absence in the build up to the PPV?

*If Roman is pulled from the Battleground PPV, do we get Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins or does the company slot someone else in?

*Is it fair game to have Reigns interfere or make a cameo during the match if he's pulled?

*How big will the mainstream media attention be to Reigns being suspended?

*What level of trust does WWE put back in Reigns, who has been pushed as their made man for well over a year, now that he has publicly embarrassed the company and himself with the suspension?

*How evil will the fan reaction be when Reigns, who's already regularly getting raked over the coals, returns?
