Wwe’s Roman Reigns Gives Up Title Due To Leukaemia by 2Ebisco: 5:37pm On Oct 23, 2018
WWE star Roman Reigns is giving up his Universal Championship title because he has leukaemia.

The four-time world champion told fans on Monday he had been diagnosed with the disease 11 years ago but was in remission.

But he says the leukaemia has returned which means he can no longer “be that fighting champion”.

Fans sent messages of support on social media and the hashtag #ThankYouRoman has been trending on Twitter.

Roman, a former American football player, made the announcement in the ring at Monday Night Raw.

Addressing the crowd, the 33-year-old said: “Y’all have made my dreams come true.

“It didn’t matter if you cheered me or you booed me, you’ve always reacted to me and that’s the most important thing and for that I have to say thank you so much.”

Roman, real name Joe Anoa’i, told fans he wanted to make it clear that his announcement wasn’t a “retirement speech”.

He said once he recovers from the leukaemia he will be “coming back home”.

“When I do it’s not going to be just about titles or being on top. It’s about a purpose.”

He added: “I will beat this and I will be back so you will see me very, very soon.”

After his emotional address, he was given a hug by Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, his partners from The Shield wrestling group.

Reigns is a four-time world champion having held the WWE World Heavyweight Championship three times and the Universal Championship once.

Yeah
I think wwe should allow Drew Mctyre to replace Roman Reigns in the tripple fight in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
That fight has already been fixed.
I don't want Braun Strowman to win universal championship now. Brock is not good either.

Rather they put my Dean Ambrose to replace Roman.

Mctyre is now a friend to Strowman In the pack.
I like Ambrose just that his featherweight stature...!

Dean Ambrose is too small for the two guys.
Drew won't think twice before he betrays Strowman. He is already tired of Strowman's domineering attitude. More reasons why he attacked Strowman last week.

Miz is still a boy when it comes to the universal championship fight. Let him focus on defeating Daniel for now.

Mctyre seems too attached to Doff Ziglar and Ziglar is sworn enemy of Seth Rollings. So Seth the Architect won't like him at all. Besides Mctyre is currently part tag team Champ.. u know..!
