10 Biggest WWE 2018 Mistakes

8. Exploiting Roman Reigns’ cancer

On October 22, Roman Reigns shocked the wrestling world by announcing that the Leukaemia he had beaten 11 years prior had returned, and that he would be relinquishing his Universal Title in order to have treatment for the disease.

It was a truly heartbreaking moment, and one that WWE made the most of immediately. Stay classy. You are the other C word sometimes.

Now, it must be said that Roman will almost certainly have given his blessing for everything that WWE have done since the announcement, but that still doesn’t detract from the fact that a lot of what they’ve done has been downright distasteful.

Not only did they turn Dean heel on the same night as Roman’s announcement, capitalising on the shocked atmosphere in the Raw crowd, but just a few short weeks after this, Dean Ambrose claimed in a promo that Roman Reigns deserved to have leukaemia due to his actions while in the Shield.

The whole thing just makes you feel a bit grubby, which is probably why Dean bought the gas mask in the first place.
