Today is the final day of Roman Reigns’ WWE Wellness Policy suspension. Reigns is eligible to return to work on Thursday, July 21.
Powell’s POV: Reigns is advertised for Saturday’s WWE Live Event in Wildwood, New Jersey. Of course, he is also in the Triple Threat main event at Sunday’s WWE Battleground pay-per-view.
Let the ratings drop begin!
Y2J has 2 words for you and I’m going to spell them out for you “STUPID IDIOT” …. Ratings droped even more after Roman was on 30-day suspension….
