This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw took place from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and the fallout from the Survivor Series pay-per-view was very much the focus of the show.
But prior to Raw, the Staples Center honored former Universal Champion Roman Reigns by making a $10,000 dollar donation to Children’s Health Dallas in his name. The following press release was issued:
“The STAPLES Center in Los Angeles has made a generous donation of $10,000 in Roman Reigns’ name to Children’s Health Dallas at The Big Dog’s request. The venue, which is hosting the third of four consecutive nights of WWE action with tonight’s Raw, showed its appreciation for WWE by making the donation to the charity of Reigns’ choice.
After revealing his battle with leukemia and relinquishing the Universal Championship, Reigns received words of encouragement from patients at Children’s Health Dallas, and his choice to have STAPLES Center donate the money to them was undoubtedly The Big Dog’s way of saying “thank you.”
STAPLES Center president Lee Zeidman presented the check to WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon and WWE COO Triple H before Raw. In addition to Raw, the STAPLES Center hosted Saturday night’s NXT TakeOver: WarGames II and last night’s Survivor Series and will also be the site of tomorrow’s SmackDown LIVE.”
