8 Major Ramifications Of Roman Reigns' WWE Suspension

1. Losing Vince's Trust

Vince McMahon is a boss who demands a lot from his talent. They have to endure a grueling schedule, make a ton of public appearances, and stay in amazing shape year round. It's what they sign up for, and failiure to comply is a big problem.

WWE is a business where top stars can be put out of action in a moment's notice due to injury. It's bound to happen. But making a bad choice and missing time because of it is a whole other issue.

We're in a new era in wrestling. It's not only the technology that has advanced to the point where any fan can get an idea of what goes on backstage, but it's also a far more corporate environment than ever before. Shawn Michaels got away with drug abuse while he was on top, but that doesn't fly now. WWE is a publicly traded company, so any bad mainstream news is far more damaging than it used to be.

Roman is likely to end up fine from this suspension, but it's also not a sure thing. This career detour has to have further shaken his bosses' opinion of him as the next big thing. Perhaps it's now got to the point where he'll look elsewhere for his guy. Time will tell how Roman recovers from this, and the next few months will be absolutely fascinating.
