Well that was unexpected. He's not a bad guy, he's not a good guy, he's THE guy that was suspended for 30 days.

The man that was the heir-apparent to John Cena, the future face of the company, has failed a Wellness Policy test. This is big.

We don’t know the full story yet, but Roman has already owned up to the situation. With the company ever more catering to their hardcore, internet fans, there’s no way to keep this story under wraps. Major media sites have picked up on it, and by the time Raw comes around, the vast majority of their audience is going to know why Roman is suddenly gone.

Never before has someone in such a prominent storyline position been busted like this. We’ve seen Rey Mysterio Jr., Rob Van Dam and Randy Orton having to be sent home for awhile, but their exits didn’t damage any huge angles. Roman is different. The biggest story in the company revolves around his quest to reclaim his title, and the tension between him, his best friend, and biggest enemy.

There are a lot of burning questions to answer, and it will be fascinating to see how WWE handles the situation. Big things will be changing for Roman and the company, and these are some of the biggest ramifications from his suspension.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
