Last night, WWE Raw was supposed to be headlined by a face-off between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. This was the first time ever that the champion was about to appear after his championship defense at the Royal Rumble PPV. Initially, the face-off was about to happen on the post-Elimination Chamber episode of the flagship show.
But, Lesnar skipped the show since he can do whatever he wants by virtue of his exclusive contract. Going forward, the title-holder competed in two house shows and squashed his opponents within a minute that generated a lot of backlash among the fans. They were irate about not seeing a long-lasting main event match.

With all of those happenings, the crowd was already giving negative comments towards the beast incarnate. It got even louder when Kurt Angle announced that Brock Lesnar will not be present on WWE Raw in Detroit, Michigan. No proper reason was spoken by the general manager for this absence. With the same happening, once again, Roman Reign seemed irate and he came out to confront Angle.
However, he did not blast the GM for this. Rather, he went on to deliver a furious promo on the head-honchos of the WWE to finalize a contract with the beast like this which allows him to sit out of the show with Wrestlemania being just four weeks away. Especially, Vince McMahon was targeted by his words who is letting this happen on a constant basis.

So, Roman Reigns was not letting it go in an easy manner. He decided to confront The Boss himself after the promo heading towards the backstage. The Chairman was seen present at the Gorilla Position who was reluctant to note on this on live television. Hence, he instructed to go to the show for a commercial.

While coming back from the commercial, we heard from Renee Young that loud shouting was heard from the closed-door meeting held between Roman Reigns and Vince McMahon. The Boss came out if the room, after sometimes and the interviewer confronted her with what happened inside the room.
Per WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon, Roman Reigns is temporarily suspended, effective immediately. https://t.co/DgKxVUHF8D

McMahon informed us that due to the loud actions, the Big Dog has been temporarily suspended from the show. It was not clarified for how long he will miss actions due to this. But, it should not be for a long time. He also assured us that Brock Lesnar will be present on WWE Raw at a certain point. He is also scheduled to defend his title at Wrestlemania 34.
