from WOR/reddit...
Quote:
- This is really bad for WWE, as he is the cover of WWE2K16 and he's wrestling at SS
- The questions arises of how he never failed a WWE test in the 4 years he's been there
- More serious than Roman Reigns suspension because of the publicity of it
- Alvarez points out that Lesnar passed 5 of 6 tests in a 3 week span, and failed the 6th, so that's weird. Meltzer however mentions that this has happened before.
- Once Nevada starts a hearing, and if he's suspended by the commission, he will be suspended from any commission in any state that regulates prowrestling too, which means that he wouldn't even be able to fight in SummerSlam (NY)
- This is bad for UFC, because they've had 3 pops too close to a fight (Jones, Silva, Lesnar, although Lesnar and Silva actually fought)
- There's precedent on suspending/firing people for failing outside drug tests (Billy Gunn)

I think WWE takes the biggest hit here, Brock is like 1 of 2 attractions for them, UFC can go on business as usual because of their cult fanbase, UFC 202 will be even more hype because their fans believe that should have been 200 anyway, so even more might buy in. Whereas Summer Slam takes a massive hit here
