As we previously reported, Roman Reigns was named as a client of convicted steroid dealer Richard Rodriguez in a series of interviews with filmmaker Jonny Bravo. Bravo claimed that Reigns’ 2016 suspension was connected to the steroid ring. Reigns has denied doing business with or even knowing Rodriguez.

Rodriguez at the time spoke about WWE’s strict testing policy and how it didn’t mean anything. He said: “Well, we all know that WWE is a publicly traded company and they claim to possess some of the most strict testing requirements for their athletes. However, the harsh reality is those kind of physiques are never attainable without drugs… you cannot walk around 250-plus pounds, four percent body fat, without using [substances]. Hence why it’s sad to see these kind of people that are considered role models mislead the public and their follower.”

Bravo, meanwhile, suggested that other WWE superstars were also linked to the steroid ring, even though they weren’t named.

When asked by Wrestling Inc why Reigns was the only wrestler mentioned, Bravo replied: “Yes, on every individual that Richard has named I do my due diligence to carefully go thru every piece of evidence as well as verify contact information etc. The Reigns case is unique because of the way orders were placed and delivered. The reason why I have done each client individually was because all 3 have came out and said they did not know of WFN nor Richard Rodriguez. I am giving detailed information for each person to show that the evidence I have is legitimate and they did indeed place orders with WFN. Once this evidence is shown I will not have to show this level of evidence on each individual. Besides WWE and former WWF stars there are UFC, NBA and NFL players as well. It’s a really big case and I am coming up with a plan besides the film to provide that information for everyone. The film itself is not a film meant to expose people but portray a message and the big names help deliver that message to the public. Hope that helps.”

He added in a recent video that records of Roman Reigns’ phone calls and text messages with Rodriguez will be released in a video “very early next week.”
