#3 Brand split
The biggest thing Roman Reigns will miss is the WWE draft that is scheduled to take place on July 19th.
And while it is still not clear how the WWE intends to work his return into the brand split once he does return, this may yet present the biggest opportunity to the company in refreshing his gimmick and outlook.
If he misses the draft, and it certainly looks like he would, Reigns wouldn’t be confined to either brand exclusively, giving the WWE an opportunity to write him into any storyline they want, on either roster.
While this is undoubtedly a challenge for Creative, especially in ensuring that he does get ‘over’ with the audience this time around, it is still given to a multitude of avenues for them through which they can re-package him.
Roman Reigns getting suspended may be a tough sell for the WWE on paper, but if they played their hand right, he may yet benefit more from the time off than he would have had he still been active.
