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 RAW 23/11/20 | A Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW this week felt like 7 hours instead of 3 hours because this show was a snooze fest. There were a few good moments but for the most part, I was bored as f**k watching this episode. Images via WWE.com This Segment Bruh… To put it simply, the segment was straight up dogsh*t. Pretty much all of the competitors in the RAW Survivor Series men's team stated their reason as to why they deserve a WWE title opportunity (with jokes from Riddle cornier than any Nick Cannon's comedy sketch). Then, Braun Strowman attacked Adam Pearce because Braun was bothered by Adam Pearce saying, "last but not least" to him. Whyee? That attack from Strowman made him look so stupid. You (Braun) would've had a slight chance to face Drew for the WWE championship so why attack the guy? The New Day vs Shelton Benjamin And Cedric Alexander For The RAW Tag Team Championship. Moving on from something that is actually slightly worst? I would be co...

The 5 News Week: Companies INTERESTED In Bronson Reed!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Some images via wwe.com Vinnie Massaro On Training Cain Valesquez. Vinnie Massaro is one of those performers in the business where you didn't know his fingers have shaped up some of the most well-known competitors. One of those competitors is Dominik Mysterio's God son, Cain Valesquez. During an Interview with Last Minute Wrestling Podcast's Frank Mandolini , Massaro described how he trained Velasquez: "When I got him, he had like literally nothing so he didn't know anything about pro wrestling. I taught him a lot more of the basic stuff. I showed him a couple of things here and there, some arm drags and stuff like that. But, once he got to Mexico, I think he got in the ring with some of those L...

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event. Images via WWE.com Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together? Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?). Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos. That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie". The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again? The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW). However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this? It's not terri...
