— Roman Reigns’ revelation that he is suffering from leukemia caught almost everyone off guard and seemed to come out of nowhere as very few people even knew that he had first battled the disease over a decade ago. Vince McMahon – if he even knew about it – chose to keep this fact quiet which would not be the first time he would have tried to keep information on Reigns under wraps – at one time he didn’t want anyone knowing he was of Samoan descent or related to the Usos.

— When Reigns missed last weekend’s house shows, no one was given any explanation and the writing team only found out in the afternoon of Raw that he would be relinquishing the title and that the team would have to make immediate and significant changes to Raw. One of the changes was to move up and execute the Dean Ambrose heel turn on Seth Rollins after the duo won the tag team titles.

— Not surprisingly, everyone backstage was “stunned and emotional” after Roman Reigns made his leukemia announcement on Raw. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Seth Rollins and Nia Jax were said to be taking it the hardest though ultimately, nobody in the back was taking the news well.
