The night Roman left really changed the landscape of Raw.

So far, two of the three members of the Shield have turned on the others. If the fans thought Roman Reigns' announcement of his leukaemia returning wasn't heart-wrenching enough, the end of the night had more in store for us.

After Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose dedicated their Raw Tag Team Title match to their departing brother, Ambrose immediately turned his back on his brothers. The unbelievable high of winning the titles for their fallen brother was immediately turned to shreds when Ambrose attacked Rollins in the aftermath.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

It was a roller coaster of real emotions from all three members of the Shield and one of the most emotional nights in WWE history. The commentators famously said 'not tonight, Dean' referring to the split of the Shield brothers and the attack on both Rollins and Reigns on the same night.

It was a gut-wrenching study in emotional storytelling, but Reigns' announcement of a real-life battle with a disease made the bigger-than-life characters seem human for one night. Here's wishing all the best to Reigns, superstars battling serious injuries and anyone around the world battling a disease. Keep up the fight!
