Roman Reigns gave the hardest announcement of his life on this week’s Monday Night Raw, when he announced that he was suffering from Leukemia which had come back, thus him having to relinquish his Universal Title so that he could beat it.
WWE will have to carry on without Reigns and build another champion in his stead. Perhaps once Roman comes back, he will be greeted back with open arms, akin to the success story that Daniel Bryan had.
Members of the SmackDown LIVE roster reacted to the news on twitter, which you can see below.
We been here for u, and will stay here for u. Day one uce. We love you. @WWERomanReigns #ThankYouRoman pic.twitter.com/eszthQWPAC

@WWERomanReigns’ success was something I aspired for myself since he was an all-conference DT at Georgia Tech over a decade ago. I think of how much he’s achieved but far more importantly, I think of his family & loved ones. All the love and strength in beating this, Big Uce.
