Paul Heyman Cuts An Emotional Promo On RAW Regarding News Of Roman Reigns Leukemia Battle

During the second hour of tonight’s episode of WWE Monday Night RAW, Paul Heyman made his way out to the ring. Heyman cut an emotional promo talking about the news from earlier in the night of Roman Reigns suffering from a relapse of the leukemia that he was diagnosed with 11 years ago.

Heyman tearfully expressed that his thoughts and prayers are with Roman Reigns, and he went on to talk about what a privilege it was to share a WWE locker room with him. Heyman talks about the sacrifice Roman made for his career because he couldn’t fulfill his obligations as WWE Universal Champion. He said that the fans who took pride in WWE have the right to point at the Universal Champion and be proud of who they are, knowing that they are the best they had to offer. Heyman then added that until 8:05 PM tonight we had the right to brag that the Universal Champion was the best.

From there Heyman went on to hype up the upcoming Crown Jewel PPV which will now see Braun Strowman vs. Brock Lesnar to determine the new Universal Champion in the wake of Roman Reigns announcing he was relinquishing the title so he could focus on his battle with leukemia.

Heyman continued to put over Brock Lesnar, and how he will once again become Universal Champion at Crown Jewel. Eventually Heyman is interrupted by Braun Strowman, who made his way down to the ring.

Strowman goes on to say that once Roman beats leukemia that he will be back and that he will be the first in line, but for now… Brock Lesnar is going to get these hands.

"There's only one being in this match…that's worthy of the honor of being YOUR champion."
