#1 Roman Reigns vacates Universal Title due to Leukemia
This week's episode of Raw kicked-off in the most unusual and unexpected manner, Roman Reigns kicked-off Raw with a really big revelation about himself.
Roman announced that he has been fighting leukemia for the past 11 years and a recurrence has affected Reigns once again due to which he can not defend the Universal Championship and he has to relinquish the championship. He said that it was not a retirement speech and he will return soon after defeating the disease once again.
Reigns thanked the WWE Universe and the WWE management for giving him a chance when football didn't.
It reminded me of the championships relinquishments by Daniel Bryan and Finn Balor. It was a really emotional moment for Reigns as well as all the fans of Reigns and WWE. I hope that Reigns will get well very soon, return to the ring, win back the Universal Championship and show everybody why is he known as the 'Big Dog'.
