Now that’s just cool. Nearly four months ago, Roman Reigns was forced to vacate the Universal Title due to his leukemia returning. The moment genuinely shook the WWE audience, as the idea of this actually happening to someone was almost hard to believe. Reigns may not have been the most popular wrestler in the world, but this was a different situation. Since he’s been out of action, fans have earned a new interest in him and it was recently on display.
According to Ringsidenews.com, Reigns recently made an appearance at the World of Wheels in Pittsburgh over the weekend for a signing. The appearance, which is one of Reigns’ first since having to leave WWE, was said to have been so heavily attended that fans had to be turned away. At the moment, there is no word on when Reigns will be making his return to WWE.

The fans aren’t the only ones who are backing Reigns. Check out the locker room’s reactions to his announcement:
Opinion: Reigns having to vacate the title is one of the most emotional moments that you’ll ever see in wrestling. It’s not something that could have been scripted and it went beyond wrestling and storytelling. The man is sick and hopefully it’s something that is going to get better as Reigns has come off as a fighter. He’ll be back one day and it’s going to be awesome, as it should be.
