I think theyre holding the show "under the stars" because the building they usually tape their show in holds about 200 people and Bret prolly gonna pop that to 225
Gotta obey them fire codes dog
 
Mascot is approved.

But fuck you all. Roman can inject all the marijuanas he wants.
 
Why do people keep saying its marijuana?
Cant face the facts that your hero is a dirty steroid freak?
He should come out wearing chain mail and holding a tiger when he returns as an inside joke "fuck you" to everyone

Yahoo thinks Roman should come back as a heel. (Side note: Yahoo still exists and old men like me use it.)

Hey WWE, It’s Time For Roman Reigns to Make the Heel Turn

When the news dropped Tuesday that WWE star Roman Reigns had been suspended for 30 days, it capped a wild 48-hour period for the company, but also provided Vince McMahon and his team of writers with an opportunity to finally pull the trigger on a move they should have made months ago.

Reigns was suspended for violating the WWE’s Talent Wellness Policy, which tests for a long list of substances. Reports immediately began to circulate that the WWE knew about the violation prior to Sunday night’s Money In The Bank event. Reigns lost the title that night to a returning Seth Rollins, who in turn lost it to Dean Ambrose a few minutes later. The following night a match many assumed would be saved for WrestleMania (or perhaps maybe SummerSlam) was booked for the slightly-less-notable Battleground special event: Reigns vs. Rollins vs. Ambrose, the three former Shield members duking it out for the title.

The fact that Reigns was able to drop the title before serving his suspension isn’t a surprise, as it’s been the standard for a while. Here’s what Stephanie McMahon said in a 2007 interview with the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, which was investigating steroid abuse and illegal drugs in pro wrestling at the time:

“So I find out that a talent is suspended. And that talent will either be suspended right that day, or if they are a champion, say, and we have to get the title off of them, we have to wait until the next TV, which is normally just a few days. It is never more than a week to get that title off of that person.”

What is a little odd is the fact that Reigns was immediately booked for another title match, which conveniently takes place a few days after his suspension ends. On SmackDownThursday night there was no indication that he was going to be removed from the match, meaning that Rollins and Ambrose will have to do the heavy lifting of building to the match on their own, a task which they are more than capable of completing.

There’s also a precedent for wrestlers bouncing back following suspensions under this policy. Randy Orton has been hit with two wellness violations — with his first strike coming in 2006 and the second in 2012 — and he went on to win world titles and headline the main event at WrestleMania after each instance. Jeff Hardy was suspended in 2008 for 60 daysbut was back on the main event scene upon his return, winning the WWE title twice the following year.

Considering the investment put into Reigns so far, it seems likely that he’ll be given the same chance at redemption. They’ve done nothing but promote him as their star of stars for the last two years, and are barreling towards a brand split that will increase the need for big names. But if they want this to work, the WWE has to radically reposition Reigns — which means abandoning the idea of him as a good-guy fan favorite.

The crowd, which has mostly booed Reigns since January 2015, has gone completely nuclear against him. Monday night brought “You can’t wrestle” chants despite the fact he had competed in three consecutive, very enjoyable pay-per-view main events.
