WWE News: suspended Reigns still being advertised for Battleground Triple Threat match
Jun 23, 2016 at 11:41 AM
Maybe WWE Universe is loving the fact that Roman Reigns will be off from TV due to his 30 days suspension, but the news has turned the pro-wrestling industry upside down like a storm. It sucked everyone’s attention all over the world. WWE has announced it first on its official website. The former WWE World Heavyweight Champion then admitted the same on Twitter and took all the responsibilities for the violation upon him.
Being, the first timer as a WWE wellness policy violator, Roman Reigns has been suspended for 30 days. That means technically he still is in the match in Battleground main event. The next PPV, Battleground is scheduled on July 24th which means the penalty period will be over. Furthermore, Roman Reigns is still being advertised for the already announced Battleground main event triple threat match. Below given is a graphics from this Tuesday’s Smackdown taping which still showed that the main event is intact.

Though, it is needless to say that Roman Reigns will not be available for the upcoming WWE live events. He was removed from the scheduled live events on Friday, July 22nd in Newark, Delaware, Saturday, July 23rd in Wildwood, New Jersey and Salisbury, Maryland on the same night.
He now will not be a part of the next Madison Square Garden live spectacular event on July 16th and will also not feature in WWE’s annual tour of Japan which is scheduled on July 1st and 2nd. But, the most interesting part is that Roman Reigns will not be on TV in the most important WWE Draft on July 19th’s WWE Smackdown. It is evident that this will decide WWE’s future and the absence of the recent cornerstone of the company can be a big issue.
Wrestling Observer Radio noted that Roman Reigns was aware of the policy violation prior to the Money in the Bank event and was ready to be punished. Perhaps, this was the main reason why WWE Creative has thought of Dean Ambrose as the champion, all of a sudden. We are not complaining, though.
