Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far.

WWE Raw: Oct. 22, 2018









 WWE then issued a statement on this and here's what they have to say.

“Tonight on Monday Night Raw, Roman Reigns (aka Joe Anoa’i) announced that he is relinquishing the WWE Universal Championship and taking a leave of absence from WWE as he once again fights leukemia, which had been in remission since late 2008. Reigns is taking his battle with leukemia public in an effort to raise awareness and funds for research in order to advance cures for the disease.”

 What do I think of this? I hope and pray that Roman Reigns will recover from this and come back stronger than ever before. #ThankyouRoman

WWE Smackdown 7/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Friday night Smackdown was (not counting commercials) an hour and 26 minutes and it felt twice as long. Boy, what a boring show.  The Return Of The Dirt Sheets.  John Morrison and The Miz showed off their cinematic skills for a trailer they've made, a skill that they're still trying to be somewhat good at.  Out came their Super showdown opponent in The New Day and they laughed at the notion of Miz and Morrison capturing the tag team titles from them.  The Usos came out to tell the hosts of the dirt sheets that they'll put them in The Usos Penitentiary but Dolph Ziggler's music distracted The New Day which was an opportunity for Miz and Morrison to hit the tag champs from behind. The segment started off great but it had a lacklustre end to it.  That Dirt Sheets intro narrated by Howard Finkel took me back though to a time that I didn't know what bills were (yes, I'm that young). Good times.  The Usos vs Dolph Zigg...

WWE RAW 3/12/18 | My Coherent Review

It's December everyone and RAW is still awful. Now usually on my reviews, I tell you what's good, what's okay and what's bad. For the first time since I started reviewing Monday Night RAW back in June, I'm going to put every segment and every match on what's bad for obvious reasons. Here we go.  WHAT'S BAD   The opening match of the night The purpose of an opening match is to build excitement for the rest of the show but this did the opposite. I appreciate WWE for going straight to a match instead of a boring, generic and downright formulaic (in a bad way) opening segment but the execution was pretty bad.  This was supposed to be a tag match between Ronda and Natalya vs Nia Jax and Tamina but instead, the Riott Squad came out and they put Natalya through a table on the outside.  Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Mickie James and Alicia Fox What can I say? This was a skippable match. Mickie was going for her DDT finish but ins...

WWE NXT 4/5/21 | A Coherent Review.

  It looks like the Divas era is back based on the time these women get in a wrestling match on the main roster as well as Eva Marie's return (huh? Wrong show? Oh, thank God!).  All lame jokes aside, this week's episode of NXT is apples to spaceships difference between this show and Monday Night BORE (I legit fell asleep while watching the show which is why I didn't post a RAW review yesterday).  Last week's episode wasn't great so it's awesome to witness an improvement.  Images via WWE.com   Leon Ruff vs Isiah Swerve Scott In A Falls Count Anywhere Match.  Leon took a nasty looking knee strike from Swerve Scott minutes into the match.   Swerve Scott delivered his finisher using the barricade and it isn't a surprise when I tell you that it was executed perfectly. Thanks to the debuting AJ Francis, Isiah Swerve Scott nailed his finisher to pick up the victory.  This opening encounter gave me Takeover vibes. In other words, the match was f**kin...
