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

The 5 News Week: What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?, Xavier Woods Talks About The Racial Injustice In The US.

Yes, The 5 New Week made its return after a 2-week hiatus and I wanna admit something to you guys.  Last year, I was really looking forward to 2020 and how unlike 2019, I'm actually going to maintain a schedule of articles I put out every week (which you can see the entire thing by clicking on the about page).  But, I certainly didn't and it really bothers me that I have to not publish an article due to personal life or a struggle with fighting against my mortal enemy, laziness. The inconsistencies of the articles I publish will continue and that's the sad part. Anywho, on with the news.  What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?  Last week, Fightful Select and Sean Ross Sapp stated that Kairi Sane was badly injured that involved a cut on her head during a match with Nia Jax.  Now, whenever the words " x wrestler injured " and " Nia Jax " are in the same sentence then you'll know the rest of the song.  Fast forward to this pas...

WWE RAW 18/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

The NXT calls up made this show a bit better but overall, this show was not only forgettable but as well as it was a visual Nyquil.   Opening segment.  This show started off with Triple H and cut a promo basically saying that history was made last night and also talked about DX being inducted into the WWE hall of fame (congrats to them).  After that, Triple H announced two things. One, 5 NXT talents will be in action tonight and showed a great video package highlighting those men. They are Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. Two, a tables match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin (sigh).  I don't know if that's an official call up but considering that WWE hasn't done pretty anything with the other NXT call ups, I'm not optimistic about how WWE creative books them in the near future.  Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin in a tables match.  Braun Strowman won the match with a running powerslam through...

WWE RAW 1/2/21 | A Coherent Review.

Apparently, WWE are huge fans of The Weeknd because, for the second year in a row, his song is the main theme music for Wrestlemania. I can't blame them because he's actually a fantastic musician.  Anywho, how was Monday Night RAW? I didn’t hate it for the most part.  Images via WWE.com   Edge Confronts Drew McIntyre.  Drew McIntyre kicked off this week's episode and he quickly recapped last night's Royal Rumble show (which you can click here to read my review for it).  Out came the Rated R superstar himself and he wasn't a fan of Drew's compliments toward him saying that Drew should look at him as a huge target.  Edge then told the usual bits, "I'm gonna walk out of Wrestlemania as a champion" to which Sheamus brogue kicked his best friend, Drew McIntyre.  Keith Lee was right all along. This opening scene felt like it had so many things happening at once but that's just me nitpicking. It looks like this is the feud for a match either at Elimi...
