WWE Planning a Roman Reigns Redemption Storyline?
According to the PW Torch, Vince McMahon is planning a redemption storyline upon Reigns’ return from suspension. The story would have Reigns down due to his Wellness Policy violation then find a way to get back to where he was before and be even better than he was. Vince reportedly feels that if he creates a story in the way he would want it told, he may finally get fans to buy into Reigns and cheer for him.

Randy Orton Update
Orton is apparently another month away from being able to train for a return. His shoulder is still not 100% but is improving. He does have a neck issue as well but was told by doctors a few months ago that surgery was not needed.

Moose Update
The WWE has reportedly backed off on offering Moose a contract due to a domestic violence allegation that took place in 2009. However, the WWE told Moose not to worry as this was just due to a timing issue (Jerry Lawler and Adam Rose recent DV arrests) and the door is not closed on him entering the WWE.
