WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was forced to relinquish his title after his Leukaemia returned and his brothers in The Shield won the Tag Team Title in his honour. But the celebrations and emotional scenes were short-lived with The Lunatic Fringe unleashing an assault on The Architect.

At the start of WWE Raw, Reigns walked out to declare he had been living with Leukaemia for 11 years and the disease had reemerged. He further declared that he would need to take a leave of absence from WWE.

He dropped the ring act to address the WWE Universe and recounted his initial diagnosis and remission in 2008. He went on to thank the WWE Universe for making his dream come true and made it clear that this wasn’t a retirement speech. He finished by saying, “I will beat this, and I will be back, so you will see me very, very soon.”
