The thing is he'll be back in time for Battleground but what the hell are they going to do without him in the meantime. I know they are rewriting the hell out of Smackdown at the taping tonight lol.

I'd like to think this would change how they view Reigns, but I bet he will still be in that triple threat, and he's still gonna beat Lesnar when he comes back.

I doubt this came down just today. I guarantee he doesn't lose the title if he didn't fail the drug test. Why he was announced into the main event at Battleground is beyond me. They could have wrote him off TV for a while than have the triple threat at Summerslam

I assume this was for pot, coke, or pills. I doubt they would suspend anyone over roids.
 
Also, from Reddit:
 
"I'm not a bad guy, I'm not a good guy, I'm just high."

roids would still get him suspended. probably even more so. this is probably weed, or pills. hopefully not coke or roids.

this is why he lost clean. hopefully they look at him differently and push him to get better, rather push him to be the guy right away.

Crowds are going to be even more ruthless, if that was even possible.

Vince has got to be livid. Reigns won't be there for the draft.

QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ASKED IN THE WAKE OF ROMAN REIGNS' WWE SUSPENSION
 
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 suspension?  It's happened with secondary belts but never for the most important title in the company.
 
*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?
