    Awesome news, maybe this will finally be the end of the most forced push I can ever remember.

    Battleground is technically more than a month away, but are they really gonna keep him in that main event spot even when he can't show up on TV at all? Gotta believe they switch it up.

    That's what I'm wondering as well. The event is 34 days and his suspension is 30. Will be interesting to see how they handle it

    They'd be smart to get Reigns out of this match, and then save the triple threat for summerslam. I know it's after the draft but I'm sure they could make it work still, plus isn't summerslam one of the PPVs that'll have both raw and SD guys anyways?

    What's the Wellness Policy? He test positive for roids or something?

    ESPN and Fox Sports are reporting it, as well

    Some kind of banned substance, don't know if we'll ever know what

    So could be drugs?

    I have no idea, just found it odd that he could be suspended for roids since more than half the WWE is on them.

    I think some growth hormones don't get picked up on the drug tests.

    Could mean steroids, weed or any banned substance really. If I'm not mistaken I think we mostly find out eventually what it was for these things.

    Weed isn't a suspension so it wasn't that

    Oh, I know the fake weed stuff (spice) is a suspension cuz Truth got busted for that. But yeah I think I remember hearing that weed is only a fine now or something.

    Anyways the smartest thing to do imo would be have Shane or Stephanie come out on raw and say battleground is now Rollins vs. Ambrose for the title, don't mention Reigns again until battleground then have him run in late in the match or after the match and set up the triple threat for summerslam.

    It'd set a real bad example if they let him main event battleground just a few days after his suspension's up, but who knows what WWE will do.
