ROMAN REIGNS: Leaves WWE Due to Leukemia

Roman Reigns must leave the wrestling ring for a bigger battle – against leukemia.

Pro wrestling is 100 percent scripted. However, reality hit Roman Reigns a second time. Fighting back tears, the title-holder shocked Monday night's WWE Raw crowd saying, “I’ve been living with leukemia for 11 years. Because the leukemia is back, I’m going to have to relinquish the universal championship.”

His first diagnosis happened when he was only 22 years old. Now it’s relapsed and the prognosis does not look good. Typically, cancer returns more aggressively. But Roman Reigns declared, “This is by no means a retirement speech. I will beat this. I will be back.”

Bob Barker has been hospitalized with "serious" back pain, TMZ reports.

Paramedics were called to the former Price Is Right host's home Monday afternoon after he woke up "with a major flare in back pain." His manager tells TMZ "his family decided to call in the professionals to transport him to the hospital ... rather than risk it themselves."

The 94-year-old is said to be on the mend. His manager tells People magazine that “he’s awake and alert. He’s resting and going through evaluations.”

Last year, Bob suffered another fall that landed him in the hospital.
