This week’s episode of Monday Night Raw opened with Kurt Angle making an announcement. After being heavily promoted throughout the week, Angle informed the live crowd in Detroit, Michigan that Brock Lesnar would not be appearing on the show as advertised.
No face-off with Roman Reigns. No Paul Heyman promo. Not even a tug-of-war with the Universal title.
Second after Angle’s announcement, Reigns came down to the ring mad as hell, demanding answers:

Not satisfied with just verbally berating Angle, Reigns rushed backstage to confront WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Reigns and McMahon had to be physically separated before the two men agreed to meet off camera in the the boss’s office. Following the meeting during the Raw commercial break, Reigns was “temporarily” suspended.
You heard it from the boss himself @VinceMcMahon...@BrockLesnar WILL be at #RAW next week, and @WWERomanReigns is...temporarily suspended?! pic.twitter.com/2Uat2b8FSV
