Roman Reigns shocked the WWE Universe with the devastating speech he made on Monday night.

Leati Joseph Anoa'i, known to WWE fans as Roman Reigns, opened up Monday Night Raw with the announcement that he has battling leukemia for 11 years. Reigns told the crowd that his leukemia had returned, and that he would have to stop wrestling for the forseeable future. https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1054527508320739329 Since then, tributes have been pouring in from everyone who has ever been involved with the WWE. Here is the moment he came backstage after making the announcement. He is greeted by a number of WWE stars, and pretty much all of them have tears in their eyes as they embrace the Samoan. https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1054577886022135813 Those who weren't in attendance on the night took to Twitter to pay their respects to Reigns. https://twitter.com/VinceMcMahon/status/1054729758100148224 https://twitter.com/WWEUsos/status/1054537980453498886 https://twitter.com/JohnCena/status/1054538655220539392 https://twitter.com/HulkHogan/status/1054561611204177920 https://twitter.com/RicFlairNatrBoy/status/1054526629123407872 https://twitter.com/WWEDanielBryan/status/1054592928226664449
