Roman Reigns
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting WWE ordered Roman Reigns to go to the locker room and apologize to everyone after his 30 day suspension was announced.
According to a source, Reigns went to the locker room and apologized to everyone before flying home, and it came with mixed reactions. The Observer noted the source said there was no need to humiliate him, but other people disagreed. The request reportedly was made by Mark Carrano, which would mean it came down from Paul Levesque, not Vince McMahon.
On a related note, Reigns won’t get paid any wrestling pay during the suspension, which was guessed to be around $100,000, less than what he’d miss out on if he was suspended from any PPV’s too. Reigns will still get paid merchandise and royalty checks, but will miss out on live event, PPV and downside guarantee money.
Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes was reportedly upset about reports of him talking to WWE about a Legends deal leaking because it was supposed to be confidential. Mark Carrano reportedly called Rhodes about it, and after it was reported there were false reports about Rhodes calling WWE back in an attempt to return to the company.
