Rumor Killer: Roman Reigns DID NOT Fail a Wellness Test; More Speculation on Brock Lesnar’s Alleged Backstage Frustrations

A rumor that started overnight on Reddit and social media regarding Roman Reigns failing a wellness test is completely untrue, a WWE source informed PWInsider.com.

The rumor from an anonymous user started on the r/SquaredCircle community around 1 a.m. ET and has since been removed, but claimed that Reigns had failed a random drug test, and was the reason Brock Lesnar grew angry and reportedly walked off Monday Night Raw this week. 

As noted, there is no truth to the story and not a single legitimate source has noted otherwise. While it’s still unclear what happened with Lesnar on Monday, the leading theory is that the champion is frustrated over his WrestleMania pay being taken from the dwindling pay-per-view buys. 

At the very least, the rumor wasn’t reported as true by any of the major news sites. It only picked up steam on social media, but I’ve been asked about it more than anything else today by a wide margin, so I figured it was worth dispelling the story. With regard to Lesnar, everything is speculation at this point, but frustration over WrestleMania makes more sense than anything else I’ve heard.
