Why is Roman taking anything? You can't even see his physique under his gear. doesn't have to be steroids. could be recreational drugs or prescription drugs he wasn't supposed to have. |

If this is true it'll be Swagger all over again. Guy came back for a mega push, wins the elimination chamber. Next day, busted for weed lol.

This really is another strange post PPV week, just like the rumble. Controversy left right and center.

I'm not sure why every time something happens people jump to the most insane conclusions. How about Brock flew himself to Raw, Vince does as he does and changed things late, ultimately deciding Brock isn't needed. Brock is understandably pissed, so he bounces. Or is that not sexy enough? That doesn't make any sense if we assume Lesnar gets paid either way. If you're paying Lesnar no matter what to be there then you send him out there to at least stair at Reigns and be on TV. |

Meltzer thinks (but doesn't know) that it's to do with the WrestleMania PPV bonus %.

Brock is probably just trying to strong-arm WWE into giving him a better deal before Wrestlemania.

I mean Brock is such a cool level headed guy. The only one out there more calm cool & collected is Scott Steiner. So WWE's poster boy love child had to have done a supper big no-no to make Brock walk. It's all Roman fault because Brock has always been the most professional guy in the locker room.
It's either Roman or left Usos fault. Not Brock though... NOT BROCK!

Meltzer thinks (but doesn't know) that it's to do with the WrestleMania PPV bonus %. Probably pretty realistic. Especially if Brock is in fact leaving. He would want all that squared away and maybe the percentage is lower than what it was last year. Seemingly possible since they had no template for how payouts were going to work with the Network last year and now they know what to expect financially. I have a hard time believing this over anything besides money. Be that money for Mania, money for another contract, or what have you. |

Well yeah, no kidding because it's the Rock's cousin, so of course nothing is going to happen to him, he's practically invincible. If it was a mid-carder like Tyson Kidd, R Truth, Zack Ryder, etc., they would have been gone on the spot. |

If Reigns really did fail a drugs test (which I doubt), it wouldn't matter anyway. WWE would just sweep it under the rug like they did with Swagger two years ago. This is the golden boy, and their drug testing policies are as hypocritical as any.
I sincerely doubt Lesnar would be effected in any way by competing against a guy that failed a drug test. This all sounds stupid.
It's probably money.

this is what happens when you do terrible WWE booking (I.e. D-Bry not winning the rumble)

They took away him winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania in what would have been the biggest moment of his career. |

Even if Reigns did fail a drug test why the hell would Lesnar be upset and leave over it? Everyone knows for a fact Lesnar used PEDs as well. He didn't need them whatsoever but he damn sure did them whether he denies it or not.

There's also the issue of remaining dates. Perhaps they ultimately decided they didn't want to use one on Monday. They literally wasted one recently by just having Lesnar stand there, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that they called an audible. It certainly has nothing to do with a failed drug test. Lesnar doesn't care about the integrity of the business. He'd job out to roided-up El Torito as long as he gets his money. Also, some other guy being busted for steroids in fake wrestling would have absolutely no impact on Lesnar's UFC career. Could it be money related? Possibly, but Lesnar signed a very lucrative contract with very little responsibility on his end. The guy is a smart businessman, and it wouldn't behoove them to hold up WWE for more money and alienate him when he may want or need to come back to WWE down the line. The WrestleMania bonus theory could have some legs since that's presumably independent from his actual contract, but even so, you'd think both sides would be smart enough to play ball knowing the importance of the situation. In all likelihood, a mountain is being made out of a molehill, but such is life as an Internet wrestling fan. |

Why has this turned into a Roman Reigns thread? This has nothing to do with him. 99.9% chance this is money related and nothing more.

I thinks it's probably some sort of combo of his bonus plus a new contract offer being lower than his current deal. Though I'd love to see a roided up El Torito. |
