In a recent interview with submission radio, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross commented on former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns’ recent 30-day suspension for violating the company’s wellness policy:
“Well, it’s embarrassing for the talent. I have no idea what substance that he, you wanna hope invariantly, was taking. There’s a lot of the wrestlers, men and women, that are really big into the supplements out of the health food stores, and if they’re not careful and they don’t really vet it and see what’s on those ingredients, they can be inadvertently taking something that’s against the wellness program. So I’m assuming that’s what he did.
He’s a hell of a good kid. I had a lot of fun when he was in developmental, when I was still working in WWE, helping him and talking with him, kind of mentoring him a little bit, like a lot of guys did, cause you wanted to mentor him cause he listened and he put what you told him into practice. So I was disappointed in him. And he’s gotta pay more attention if that’s what the case was. And hopefully he’ll learn a great lesson out of these thirty days he’s sitting. And hopefully he won’t be sitting, he’ll be getting better. And I sent out a tweet @JRsBBQ recently that said, ‘the game’s not over, it’s an inadvertent timeout’. So now you gotta come back better than you left and make up for lost time.
