Roman Reigns announced on RAW that he had been suffering from leukaemia for 11 years and now had to take time off in order to beat it, so he had to reluctantly relinquish his Universal Title.
Despite being WWE’s biggest competitor, New Japan Pro Wrestling reacted to Reigns’ heartbreaking announcement and truly showed how professional they are, since at the end of the day he is a wrestler, and they understand that.
A champion transcends any company. @WWERomanReigns, on behalf of NJPW we all wish you a speedy recovery.

Fan response to this has been stupendous, with fans thanking the company for wishing him the best in his recovery.
No matter the wrestlers, promoter, company, we’re all a family in this crazy business. I appreciate this a lot New Japan.
