The WWE Universe has never embraced the Roman Empire and it's unlikely they will anytime soon.

A lot of the criticisms of Roman Reigns were over the top, but the majority of his bashing was warranted.

Sometimes, the only way to get the WWE to listen is to rebel (see: Daniel Bryan's push), but even booing or cheering someone won't always convince the WWE to change its plans (see: CM Punk).

Now that Reigns has been suspended 30 days for a wellness violation, every ounce of angst against him is justified.

Simply put, the "Big Dog" let not only himself down, but the company that tried so hard to push him, the marketing and creative teams who tried to help him stand out for the last two years and the fans -- even if not all of them supported him.

Reigns was given everything by the WWE and he threw it all away. While it's unclear what he failed the test for -- the WWE never reveals these sort of things -- the fact that he put himself in this position is hard to comprehend.

Now, the WWE needs to re-think putting the three-time (gasp) WWE World Heavyweight Champion in the main event of Battleground on July 24 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.

Conveniently for the WWE, Reigns' 30-day suspension runs out just before the Battleground event, so they can conceivably keep him in the match.

It appears that's what they intend to do since the "RAW" storyline likely occurred after the WWE found out about the failure, which explains why he dropped the richest prize in the game at Money in the Bank on Sunday.

To keep Reigns in the main event of Battleground will be a slap in the face to all of the Superstars in the locker room who bust their ass, travel the world and hope to one day get the sort of favorable booking and main event exposure that was gifted to Reigns.

It's also a slap in the face to his former Shield stablemates as WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins now have to build toward a match without Reigns. It's especially insulting considering Rollins just put in a ridiculous amount of work to recover from a debilitating knee injury.

"The Architect" was forced to miss WrestleMania this year, while Reigns was booked in his second straight main event at the marquee event and took home the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the grandest stage. Just more than two months later, he's flushed any potential good will away.

While Reigns has dealt with some unfair criticism often, there's just no excuse for this violation and the WWE needs to see to it that he works his way back up to the main event rather than once again being handed a spot that countless others who haven't failed a wellness violation deserve.

The WWE should have waited for Reigns to get over organically before giving him his original push.

This wellness violation may have tarnished him, but now the company might as well place him back in the midcard and do what they should have done in the first place -- rather than shoving him down everyone's throats.

Should the WWE take Roman Reigns out of the main event at 'Battleground' due to his wellness violation?
