The Premium Live Event, Royal Rumble, saw Roman Reigns facing off against AJ Styles, Randy Orton, and LA Knight in a fatal 4-way match, where ‘The Tribal Chief’ was almost pinned by Randy Orton after an RKO. However, he was saved by the “Tribal Heir” Solo Sikoa. In the end, Reigns secured the victory by delivering a spear to Styles and pinning him to retain his title.

The Tribal Chief’s heel persona is one of the greatest villainous characters in WWE, although sometimes Reigns is seen breaking character, and that is what happened in the January 27 event. Roman Reigns was seen breaking character at the Royal Rumble 2024 as clips started flooding the internet when fans shared how a Make-A-Wish kid was holding ‘The Big Dog’ shoulder.

Roman Reigns was once a victim of leukemia. During the Raw episode on October 22, 2018, ‘The Big Dog’ shared the news with fans and later relinquished the Universal Title at that time to battle his sickness. After 126 days, he returned in 2019 and announced his remission from the sickness.

As someone who understands the pain and suffering cancer causes, Roman Reigns always tried his best to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. From his participation in promotional campaigns to voluntary work for charity, Reigns consistently did his best for the kids, which later led to him being awarded the Make-A-Wish Chris Greicius Award for Celebrity Wish Granting.

Later a statement was released by the organization, where Roman was praised for his work and how he helped raise a lot of funds for the kids. The statement said, “WWE Superstar Roman Reigns has inspired many wish kids with his confidence and courage both in and out of the ring, especially given the health challenges that he has had to overcome. As tough as his in-ring persona can be, he’s nothing but kind and caring when he spends time with wish kids. Roman has also been incredibly generous with his willingness to participate in promotional videos and campaigns that help raise money to grant more wishes.”
