Last night on WWE RAW, Roman Reigns (real name Leati Joseph Anoaʻi) announced he was relinquishing his WWE Universal Championship due to a battle with leukemia. Reigns was first diagnosed with the disease 11 years ago, before his WWE career began. In an emotional announcement, Reigns thanked the WWE for their support of him throughout the years.

Well-wishers have been using the hashtag #ThankYouRoman to reach out to Reigns and remind him of how much he’s done for the WWE community.
Roman is one of the best I’ve ever been in the ring with and one of the guys I respect and look up to the most in this industry.
My thoughts are with him and his family. I can’t wait to see him overcome this and get to share a locker room with him again soon.#ThankYouRoman— . (@FightOwensFight) October 23, 2018

Roman is one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the privilege to share a locker room with. We all knew he was the locker room leader and we all aspired to be like him. Come back stronger than ever my friend #ThankYouRoman @WWERomanReigns
