text: Gotta say, I really enjoyed this week's wrestling product. From Lucha Underground's all-episode "Six to Survive" match to NXT to Money in the Bank to RAW , there's was much enjoyment. Very wrestling. So slobberknocker.
  
  
  
  I apologize to my family, friends and fans for my mistake in violating WWE’s wellness policy. No excuses. I own it. — Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) June 21, 2016
  
  [doge intensifies]A little quick bit about TNA right here at the start though, as I was planning on making this week's Impact Wrestling the first I'd watched in months. It was following a PPV and it was an episode focused all on the champs defending their titles and that seemed like a good place to pick things up, eyeball-wise. I never got around to watching what I DVR'd though because, apparently, there were major glitches with POP! and they just wound up running the same That '70s Show commercial for two solid hours on a loop with little flashes of Bobby Lashley in between.Man, what a blow. I know they re-aired the full Impact episode the next night, but by then my momentary interest had faded in a manner befitting someone of my ferocious fickleness. I could have made more time for it, but I kind of responded to it all like an a***hole. Like, "this was your chance to win me back TNA and Eric Forman ruined it!"Anyhow, how about Seth Rollins beating Roman Reigns clean? Huh? How about that s***?And then...HOW ABOUT DEAN AMBROSE TAKING THE BELT FROM SETH IN A BIG WAY! DOUBLE-ENJOYMENT, FOLKS! A happy-on-happy attack! What sweet payback for the months Ambrose carried Reigns through WrestleMania season.And while a MITB cash-in can feel cheap, even for a babyface as over as Dean, Dean still gets "cred" here because he did wrestle that very same night, and in a very intense, painstaking ladder match. Which he won. So his cash-in win was opportunistic, but also not quite as steal-y as usual as he wasn't anywhere close to being 100%.There were just so many things I liked about the MITB main events. The undercard? That's a different story, but the Big Three matches were awesome. And, funfans, we actually got our dream scenario with regards to the finishes! Well, except for Styles maybe beating Cena clean that is. But we got Roman falling hard and then Dean winning. And also we got Seth being pretty much a huge face the entire match while Roman played the role of the trash-talking cocky heel.Plus, in Styles vs. Cena, the actual story was that AJ could totally out-wrestle Cena, and they totally leaned into the aspect in a big way.Then on RAW, the dream match was booked. The official Shield triple threat match that we've wanted for quite a while. Now, I know some can complain about the fact that this should be a WrestleMania match, or even, since it's right around the corner, the SummerSlam main event. But all this means is that they'll have to try and top this for SummerSlam. This is on them, not us. Also, I know personally that I like making these in-between PPVs more exciting. We don't want them to be filler where nothing notable happens. Where all they do is prolong feuds until the bigger PPVs. Battleground was, for all intents and purposes, going to be a bore this year. Now it's exciting af. Ambrose will probably lose the belt since he doesn't seem like the type WWE would hang their corporate hat on for very long, but who knows? Maybe he'll retain? MITB wonderfully played out against expectations so there are shards of shiny hope scattered on the ground here.There's a rumor too that the decision was made to give Dean the belt because of house show/live event drawing power. As in, Roman, heading up the "A" tour, and Dean, top-lining the "B" shows, were doing about the same attendance. Making it, honestly, an either/or scenario. If Roman wasn't doing better business than there was no reason not to give Dean a chance on the "A" circuit.WHOA! As I was writing this Wrap Up, the WWE announced that they've suspended Roman Reigns for 30 days for violation of the Wellness policy. Holy crap! Sooooo... I guess just forget all about those last two paragraphs. So what does this mean for Reigns? Is the experiment over? Will they still see main event value in him after this? Yes, there's still value in an all-Shield match, but can Roman even rebound? And, he'll have to come back as heel next month, right? The crowd is going to eat him alive, even more than they already are. It's also extremely possible that this is why he lost the belt the way he did as they would have known he'd failed the drug test days ago.]
