Roman Reigns’ suspension might be the best thing that’s happened to the WWE in a while, especially from the perspective of the World Heavyweight Championship. What was the main event from times immemorial became a soggy dud in the WWE’s attempt to light up the sky in spectacular fashion.
The biggest belt in wrestling is slowly regaining its strength, but will it be strong enough to withstand another wave of Roman Reigns? If what Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch reports pans out the way it is intended to, it just might.
According to the report, Vince McMahon wants Reigns to battle for redemption once he returns. It sounds like “The Guy” will have to work his way up from the scratch and toil doubly hard to regain the revered position he callously threw away.

The reason it just might work is because it has before. Reigns was at his peak as a singles competitor when he repeatedly came up short in the main event scene. And there are more breadcrumbs in the form of Stephanie McMahon calling Reigns an embarrassment and Rollins taking potshots at him as well.
Reigns was reportedly forced to apologize to the entire locker room by Mark Carrano(Director of Talent Relations), on orders from Triple H.
