    The push is officially over

    That's bad for him. Explains the last few days

    Ah right so that's why he dropped the title. What a numpty of a young fella. He was given the keys to the farm by Vince(for some reason) and he balls it up. Clown.

    It makes sense now as to why he lost clean on Sunday.

    Maybe, but then why the **** did they RAW
    put him in the main event of the next PPV, rather than just have Rollins beat him?

    Still, and I know this sounds cruel, but thank God. Hopefully thats the end of the superpush.

    Why the hell bother making the triple threat so? Confused to say the least, they surely knew about this before they made the match.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,487 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Doing a date count, I think Battleground is more than 30 days away....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,203 ✭✭✭✭B.A._Baracus


    So what's the violation. Steroids or recreational.

    You'd think so as if he didn't need to drop the belt due to this he wouldn't have lost Sunday clean. Well battleground is in five weeks so he'll be back for that but that means Seth and dean will be doing the heavy lifting for the match(which might not be that bad of a thing)

    You're right. It's July 24th.

    This will mark the ruin of his career or a center piece to a pretty bad ass heel turn/return.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,453 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    His reactions certainly won't be any more welcoming once he comes back, turning him heel is now the only option.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,566 ✭✭✭ZeitgeistGlee


    Curious to see what it was for, given how protected he was and the fact he's basically covered everywhere but his arms it's not like be really needed to juice.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,487 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    34 days till the PPV. So he can still do the match, but will miss the go home shows (thanks to Smackdown moving to Tuesday). He will also miss the draft, which will be a massive kick in the teeth for him, cause I would imagine he was to be a key character that show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,773 ✭✭✭connemara man


    Explains the dropping of the belt.

    But it won't change the build for the next PPV it was always going to be Rollins and Ambrose on the mic and Reigns kinda being around as the guy


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Wasn't there a rumour going around prior to Wrestlemania 31 that Roman failed a drugs test, and that caused Brock to walk out, guess this would be the rumour that was bubbling..

    Or I could be very wrong..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Depp


    I'd imagine the triple threat is now a straight match for the minute, that or they scrap it completely! farthest thing from a reigns fan but this is a bit of a bummer

    Definitely heard that too, not sure exactly what the story was but I think it was something along the lines of Reigns failing a drug test and it being covered up by WWE (or just Vince in particular).

    Yeah, there was. Something like Roman failed a test which freaked Brock, cause he worried any link between him and failed wellness tests could damage his UFC prospects, and he was willing to drop the title to Bryan or someone else, but was nearly refusing to fight Reigns. Was largely dismissed at the time.

    When I saw the title, I checked my bookmarks, and remembered I had this bookmarked, guess the rumour was true.

    A month earlier and AJ would be World Champion....Reigns can't even f*ck up properly.

    Roman with the forced heel turn. Vince is a genius :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,484 ✭✭✭Chain Smoker


    Well ****, I've been avoiding Money in the Bank until this evening so the match wouldn't be spoiled on me. Fairly f*cking obvious what the outcome of the main event was now =/


    This, or a pretty f*cking big muscle tear, was always on the cards. Genetically the guy is not at all suited to the muscle mass he's carrying, no doubt he's strong as f*ck but even the Rock had to get a bunch of cosmetic surgery to avoid looking a bit flabby, and by Samoan standards he was pretty damn lean, wasn't he?
    Hard to know where Vince'll go with this. Can't blame smarks or anything.
    I suspect they'll try to continue with Reigns but he'll be nowhere near as protected as he has been.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,507 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Surely they won't have him in the Battleground match now. How do you work this with kids? Reigns is still
    involved guys, he just can't wrestle because he took drugs. Don't take drugs kids.

    Really really hope that this is the end of the Reigns mega push.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,850 ✭✭✭Depp


    whats the bets theyll try to give him a redemption story push when hes back :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,397 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Didn't Orton serve a suspension which was only limited to house shows?
