Terrible news for an awesome person. Last night at RAW, Universal Champion Roman Reigns announced that he has been living with leukemia for the last 11 years. Unfortunately, the disease has resurfaced, and Roman will be forced to take a leave of absence from the WWE.
Roman relinquished his Universal Championship in order to focus his attentions on his upcoming battle with leukemia. However, Roman let everybody know that he’s no where close to being done for good:
By no means is this a retirement speech.
I will beat this, and I will be back, so you will see me very, very soon.
Flip the pages to see Roman’s announcement and to see how loud the crowd got in his support.
