In case you didn't know...
The former WWE Universal Champion revealed that his leukemia was now in remission and that he was ready to get back to the usual WWE grind.
He shared an emotional hug with Rollins on his way back to the locker room which was devoid of the presence of Dean Ambrose. Reigns along with Rollins would, however, save the Lunatic Fringe from a beatdown later on in the night, which potentially hinted towards another Shield reunion.

The heart of the matter
During Reigns' promo on Raw, there was a point when he spoke about his insecurities about disclosing his struggles with cancer. It was during this time when the fans started booing.
WrestlingInc has revealed that the boos were directed to a fan who yelled 'you suck' when there was a moment of silence. The fans went off on the unruly fan as they first jeered the fan before chanting for Roman, who continued with his announcement.
The fans who watched the show at home were naturally confused by the boos as the reception Reigns got was overwhelmingly positive from the get-go. It was all just for an attention-seeking fan after all!
What's next?
Reigns is expected to rekindle his alliance with Rollins and Ambrose for a possible 8-man tag team match against the heel team of Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Elias at Fastlane 2019. Braun Strowman could be added as a temporary member of the Shield to even out the teams.
