Full post before it's probably removed from Reddit:I was reading reddit and according to some random dude with a source (I know it isn't credible but this sounds totally plausible) apparently the reason why Brock walked out was because Reigns failed a drug test and did not want to be associated with Roman because him returning to UFC (which is likely) would be marred by the fact he was guilty by association (i.e. steroids...and we know UFC has a big mess on their hands regarding roids right now). He'd put be willing to put Cena or Bryan over but not Reigns. Vince was adamant on keeping Reigns in the main event (even though the higher ups were disappointed in Roman) and that's why Brock left.
First, Brock Lesnar was not expected to put over Roman Reigns on the microphone nor was he expected to be part of the segment that featured Daniel Bryan and Paul Heyman putting Reigns over. Rather, Lesnar was expected to be a part of the main event. Lesnar's walkout occurred in the hour or so following the Bryan-Heyman-Reigns segment. It is this reason why literally nothing of particular note to Reigns occurred in the main event aside from the Bryan tag-in which the commentators quickly put over as a bit of retaliation of what happened pre-Fast Lane now that they're all buddy buddy (Bryan-Reigns).
Daniel Bryan was made aware of the situation before he cut his promo. Before Bryan did the professional thing that was required of him, putting Reigns over, you can clearly see much more intensity in the promo. That was the makings of a very good promo. It was also cut straight from the hip from a guy who feels legitimately robbed of his main event status at Wrestlemania for the chosen one who really ****** up in a pretty big way.
Reigns failed the WWE's drug testing policy. The higher ups in the WWE were made aware of Reigns's failure early Monday morning.
Clearly all involved are very disappointed in Reigns. It has brought back discussion of Jeff Hardy's drug test failure prior to Wrestlemania XXIV where it was highly likely that he was to win his first championship (which was delayed until Armageddon in December). Many feel that Reigns should be forced to forfeit his position at Wrestlemania and take the suspension. However, Vince McMahon is backing "his boy" and made the decision not to suspend him as there is more than 30-days to go before Wrestlemania.
However, given the current situation in the UFC with the steroids controversy, Brock Lesnar is beyond infuriated with that decision. His legitimate fear is that should he choose to return to the UFC, quite likely given the money that Dana is offering, his Wrestlemania main event status against Roman Reigns links him directly to failed drugs tests in the media. It's a guilty by association issue for Brock and a perfectly understandable one.
Lesnar has demanded that Reigns be replaced preferably with Daniel Bryan or John Cena, both of whom he is happy to put over given their popularity. Lesnar does not particularly care if the much smaller Bryan were to defeat him - it's a non-issue due to the known 'scripted' nature of professional wrestling - as it wont effect his UFC reputation. Again, Vince McMahon has said that Reigns would not be replaced in the main event of Wrestlemania. Lesnar walked out.

PEEP...
are you fat?...
.... damn man this is low....
make a thread asking NTers what their shirt size is... i'm sure 50% will say fat.... and 49% will say extra Smedium... (i'm in the 1% that'll say Medium)
Unconfirmed rumor from TheMaskedLucha from Reddit.it this from metsfan?
Why is this hard?..
I'm thinking Bray v Undertaker at WM will be a casket match..
If that true, things are gonna get real interesting...
Not really. I have the Big logo replica which I'm trying to sell but its being re-leathered at the moment. I do browse belttalk every now and then. I would like to own one "real" title in the near future. Either the Winged Eagle or IC title (90s era) Those collections on belttalk are nice but one real title is enough for me if it happens. I think that having too many is a little bit too much but not knocking them for the hobby. The turn around time on those things are a ***** too from what I've heard...
@casekicks
These rosy colored glasses for the Attitude Era needs to come off already for the majority of you. The IC Title was passed around during the Attitude Era the same way it has in the past couple years. Guys like Albert, Rikishi, Val Venis, Godfather, Road Dogg, etc have laid claim to that title.
Backstage morale is probably pretty low now either way.If Reigns really failed a drug test and Vince won't suspend him, I can't imagine the negative impact that would have bsckstage.
His hand will be forced. No way that news doesn't get leaked. Especially if Brock refuses to work Mania and speaks up about it.If Reigns really failed a drug test and Vince won't suspend him, I can't imagine the negative impact that would have bsckstage.
If that true, things are gonna get real interesting...
Oooooooooooooooooooooh Reigns :x
This would be the perfect time to set up Brock vs Bryan, and Sheamus vs Reigns
