New WWE Universal Champion To Be Crowned At Crown Jewel

As noted, Roman Reigns opened tonight's WWE RAW in Providence by announcing that he's taking time off to once again battle leukemia, which he's lived with for the past 11 years as it's been in remission since late 2008.

Reigns relinquished the WWE Universe Title but made it clear that this was not a retirement speech, that he will be back home at WWE "very, very soon."

WWE has announced that the vacant WWE Universal Title will be decided at Crown Jewel on November 2 when Brock Lesnar takes on Braun Strowman in singles action. This match was previously a Triple Threat with Reigns defending.
