Jon Bravo Releases “Evidence Video” Without Evidence, Reigns Comments On Situation

Filmmaker Jon Bravo released his much-talked about video that claimed to implicate Roman Reigns and up to 15 other current and former wrestlers as former customers of jailed steroids dealer Richard Rodriguez. Rodriguez and his company, Wellness Fitness Nutrition LLC (WFN), were accused of being involved in a distribution chain that imported goods from China, then manufactured illegal steroids in Arizona before distributing them out of the Miami area. No evidence was presented in the video about Reigns or any other current WWE Superstars.

Regarding Roman Reigns, Bravo said he is still waiting on evidence from those phones and laptops in the DEA’s possession to be 110% accurate. Without that key information, he said that he cannot verify Reigns or Mark Wahlberg placed orders through WFN. Bravo said that you have to prove someone is guilty without a reasonable doubt, and he doesn’t have that right now for Reigns and Wahlberg. He claimed that he understands that Wahlberg made his communications through a doctor, but he doesn’t have those communications. He claimed that Reigns placed his orders under an alias but that “it’s impossible to cross reference his orders without seeing the communication that [Rodriguez] had with him through text messages.”

Reigns finally breaks his silence on the situation, he stated the following in an interview:

At one point it’s like, who is this [Rodriguez]? Where is this coming from? What did I do? Like, what the heck is going on? I’m just sitting at home playing with kids. I’m feeding babies and changing diapers, and doing dad stuff and then all of a sudden this happens, I think it’s just a good lesson of where we’re at. If you have any kind of social media presence; essentially, my Twitter is a billboard, unfortunately some people want to use whether it’s in a positive passion and a negative passion.

“At the same time, it’s one of those deals where, I know me, I know what I have done, and I know what the truth is. You have to have one of those bulletproof mentalities where it’s like, these things are ricocheting off of me.”

My Thoughts

This is a story we have been on top from from the beginning. From the initial accusation, until our last story where we stated evidence is needed. Bravo who I have been in direct contact with numerous times, hasn’t once given any hard evidence. He has stated his hands are tied by the justice system. From the beginning we have urged everyone to save judgement until there is proof, however felt obligated to pass the story along.

Did your picks win points?

The AEW Continental Classic is underway, with almost everyone competing. Check in here if you haven’t seen the winners and losers of week 1!

Here are your Gold League standings!

Jon Moxley: 1-0, 3 points
Swerve Strickland: 1-0, 3 points
Jay White: 1-0, 3 points
Rush: 0-1, 0 points
Mark Briscoe: 0-1, 0 points.
Jay Lethal: 0-1, 0 points

Here are your Blue League standings!

Brody King: 1-0, 3 points
Claudio Castagnoli: 1-0, 3 points
Daniel Garcia: 0-1, 0 points
Eddie Kingston: 0-1, 0 points
Bryan Danielson: Yet to Compete
Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete

My Thoughts:

Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.

Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.

In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
