#2. He missed the business
Roman Reigns has always been around sport. He was a football player before he was struck down by an injury and forced into the wrestling business. He isn't the kind of superstar who would enjoy being on the sidelines and soaking up the sympathy.
Reigns comes from a family of hard Samoan men who have all been part of the business and it's easy to see that Reigns could have missed being part of the company for the past four months. Reigns also has a lot of friends and family in the locker room that he would have wanted to see and share the news with personally.

The WWE Universe has also missed Reigns and has shared tributes to him and supported him over the past few months. Naturally, the former World Champion probably believed that he owed it to the WWE Universe to tell them the news as well.
