Has it been known that Roman has leukemia or was it never talked about?

 

Yeah, that's a better way of putting it than I did. And he'll deserve it too.


Can't wait for all the conspiracy theories about it being fake!!!!

 

Those Shield reunions really are cursed eh?

 

The first pop this guy's ever gotten and I wanna just cry.

 

Man. Really rooting for him to make it back now.

 

I'm...oddly emotional

 

Fuck

 

Left the belt in the ring. Great.move.

 

Seth omg

 

I am gonna cheer this mother fucker so hard when he comes back

 

Same. And I want that Roman, its the first time in a long time he felt genuine and vulnerable. Damn shame it came because of this, but that pop when he comes back is gonna be Stone Cold level after this.

 

I texted my mom to warn her when she watches the replay

 

Most people will. And it will, in Vince's mind, somehow validate every fucking stupid Roman-related booking decision over the past 4 years.

 

I feel fucking horrible for him. Holy shit

 

Oh man, I was handling that ok until Seth.

That's awful. I can't believe that had never been mentioned in any capacity (that I recall).

 

If they crown a new champ at Crown Jewel...it'll be just the worst after that

 

Holy shit my heart breaks for Roman

 

:(

 

Is Roman retiring? Or just taking some time off?

Cause call me a cynic but "overplay an illness to get a babyface over" is exactly the kind of thing a company that didn't hesitate to do business with a foreign power that murdered a journalist and then spent weeks lying about it would do.

 

i mean i'm sure vince knew and planned reference to it as his ultimate babyface moment. unfortunately probably not planned like this.


Could this actually be related to the reason why he wears the vest?


and hooooooly shit breaking kayfabe renee and dean now kayfabe married

 

Ugh Graves

 

He said its not a retirement but it sounds like he's leaving for a long while. Shit is too serious not to

 

That's cynical =(

He's probably not formally retiring because obviously he wants to eventually be back in the ring

 

this is fucking brutal

 

Treatment takes years. Roman is gone for a lonnnnnng time.
