WWE

A heartwarming moment took place prior to this week’s SmackDown as Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns granted a Make-A-Wish to a young fan.

Although Reigns has ruled over WWE as the company’s top heel for the last three years, the Tribal Chief showed a different side in Milwaukee, Wisconsin prior to showing up on WWE TV.

As covered by WISN 12 News, Reigns granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation for a 5-year-old fan who was born with a rare heart defect know as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.

The condition has meant that in his short life, the young fan has already been required to undergo three open heart surgeries.

According to the report the young fan’s wish was to meet his favorite wrestler, Roman Reigns with the wish being fulfilled as the pair met and were pictured together ahead of SmackDown.

You can watch the WISN 12 News report in the embedded tweet below.

On SmackDown Reigns would be rattled by his opponent for WWE Crown Jewel 2023, LA Knight who ended the night stood over  the Head of the Table after delivering a BFT.
