As stated in a report from Sportsrageous, the WWE has spent a long time and a lot of effort to push Roman Reigns into the spotlight but the audience isn't biting and Reigns recently got suspended for showing positive in a drug test. According to Daily Wrestling News, Vince McMahon has grown sour of Roman Reigns.
The WWE chairman is said to be tired of Reigns and reportedly wants to shift the attention away from him. McMahon is rumored to try and push AJ Styles and Seth Rollins instead. The report goes on to point out that McMahon wished he had signed Styles up 10 years ago and that he thinks highly of Styles, who also happens to be the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
It is also pointed out that it is no secret McMahon thinks highly of Rollins and there are rumors that he may choose to utilize Styles or Rollins to become the new face for WWE RAW now that the brand has split. John Cena will continue on to be the face of WWE Smackdown, where he will be accompanied by many WWE veteran superstars.
For the longest time Rollins and Styles were heels for Dean Ambrose and John Cena. All of that may change soon if Reigns continues to fail in impressing McMahon. A report from Forbes points out that for the time being Reigns will be the face of WWE RAW but that honor may not last long given how low McMahon looks at him now.
According to the reports, this is the worst time for Reigns to fail in the drug test and break the WWE drug policy given that McMahon was already getting sour about him. His drug failure will likely further convince McMahon to consider pushing Styles or Rollins instead. Where this will leave Reigns has yet to be seen.
