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.

An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs

He’s our locker room leader.

He IS the business.

He’ll be back.

You got this, champ. #ThankYouRoman

I'm overseas and I just heard the terrible news about @WWERomanReigns and his battle with Leukemia. Totally shocked. Uce, you are a tough bastard and a true fighter, and you will beat this.
Lots of love.

Love you bro.

Just saw the @WWERomanReigns news. Absolutely heartbreaking. Roman is one of nicest guys I have ever met in this business and was a pleasure every time I had the pleasure to work with him. My best wishes to him!

Our job gives us the ability to portray larger than life characters who possess super human qualities and characteristics.

After hearing his story it's very apparent that Joe Anoa'i is just as much of a superhero as "Roman Reigns" is.#ThankYouRoman

Sending my thoughts and prayers your way @WWERomanReigns ... Thank you and stay strong! 🙏🏻🙌🏼

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 Hell In A Cell 2020 | A Coherent Review.

WWE is continuing the streak of shorter PPVs and as a guy that lives overseas, I don't mind WWE doing this even if the fans come back to arenas. Also, The 2020 edition of Hell In A Cell had a decisive and conclusive ending. Yayyyyyy! The show itself was okay but it did have its moments, to say the least. pictures via WWE.com Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso. Hell In A Cell I Quit Match. I gotta say. It is so weird to hear boos that WWE adds in the background for Roman Reigns given the history they've had in altering actual boos from the crowd many years ago. It is also weird for WWE to open this show with a match that main evented the previous PPV. The question is, was it worth it? Heck yeah, dude. Both men hit each other's finishers not once but twice and it wasn't enough for Reigns and Jey Uso to quit. At one point, the match was turned into a strap match of some sort because Roman and Jey tied themselves with that strap. Jey used the strap...

WWE Royal Rumble 2021 | A Coherent Review.

I know it's something you've heard a gazillion times but it's true. We are on the road to Wrestlemania which is f'ing crazy to think about. While this year's Royal Rumble PPV had its moments, the show as a whole was just fine. By the way, the show was almost 4 hours but it felt like 2. As usual, I can't talk about the women's tag team title match at the pre-show simply because I've not seen it. Images via WWE.com Drew McIntyre vs Goldberg For The WWE Championship. When Goldberg hits the jackhammer, I almost had a heart attack but thank God the Scotsmen kicked out. Oh, and Drew McIntyre won the match in a meh opening match that was shorter than the Immortals Fenix Rising demo (the most specific reference I've ever made). They showed some respect after the match. At least Drew McIntyre won, right? Sasha Banks vs Carmella For The SmackDown Women's Championship. Carmella almost killed herself with that sick looking suic...

A Few News I Guess: Downstait On Vince McMahon Disliking Dolph Ziggler's Theme Song "Perfection".

Yea. This was supposed to be a 5 News Week. But because of how slow the news was this week, I decided to bring you guys a few news I guess? Roman Reigns Reaction To The Rock's Comments On A Possible Match Between Each Other. The tribal chief, Roman Reigns reacted to what The Rock said regarding a match between himself and Reigns (from give me sport ): "It's so funny how a lot of people always say; 'well if you ever go back to WrestleMania, who would be the opponent that you would face?' "It feels like the one that would make sense would be Roman, in terms of box office draw." The universal champion himself kind of responded to that tweet. . @TheRock at #WrestleMania ... Jey @WWEUsos at #WWEClash , my responsibility is putting our family’s name on top of the card and at the center of @WWE Universe. https://t.co/4uIOz0zHbb — Roman Reigns (@WWERomanReigns) September 23, 2020 The Roman vs Rock match has been rumoured for YEARS. I even talked about...
