Roman Reigns announced on Raw this week that he had to vacate the Universal Championship due to a battle with leukemia. Following Roman’s announcement, people all over the world have come forward to show support for Roman Reigns, and Vince McMahon recently recently told Roman that his entire WWE family is standing with him.
A warrior, through and through. @WWERomanReigns, your entire #WWE family stands with you. #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/rJy3xYb1jo

Kurt Angle also commented on Roman Reigns’ leukemia diagnosis, and he shared an inspirational message on Twitter.
After watching the beginning of WWE Raw last night, I’ve come to the conclusion that we all should be grateful that we woke up this morning to experience life to its fullest. Make each day count, because you never know what life will throw at you. #ThankYouRoman
