According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, WWE Superstar Titus O’Neil’s suspension was handed down to send a message to the WWE locker room about behaving in a more professional manner.
Titus was suspended after he grabbed Vince McMahon at the end of the Daniel Bryan retirement celebration after WWE RAW, and it was reportedly the one incident that pushed Vince too far in terms of talent goofing off and being lax with following company policy. Alvarez said he was told Titus was just messing around, but Vince made him the example because he wants WWE to be a more professional company.
