Roman Reigns was on top of his game back in 2018, but much like Becky Lynch on WWE Monday RAW, Reigns was forced to relinquish his championship and walked away from the company for an undisclosed amount of time.

Reigns came out to the ring on a live episode of Monday Night RAW and told the crowd that his real name was Joe and that he had been battling leukemia for 11 years. It was sad news that Reigns was forced to hand the Universal Championship over and head home to battle the disease one more time.

Reigns had only recently been able to defeat Brock Lesnar to win the Championship, and it meant that he was no longer able to defend the title at WWE Crown Jewel.

It was a sad turn of events, but thankfully Reigns was able to return to the ring and pick up where he left off a few months later. WWE WrestleMania 36 should have seen him reclaim the Championship he never lost, but the COVID-19 pandemic meant that he was unable to be part of the show.
