10/24 WWE: Roman Reigns' reveal, Nikki Bella talks 'Divas' and Evolution

WWE fans went through a full range of emotions this week as Roman Reigns revealed at the start of Raw on Monday the heartbreaking news that the private battle leukemia he has had been waging over the last decade has begun again. Then, just three hours late, Shield brother Dean Ambrose ended the show with a historic heel turn that sent reverberations throughout fans everywhere. Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein kick off this week's show by discussing Reigns' announcement at length, including what it means for the man Leati Joseph Anoaʻi, WWE as a whole and one day soon the character of Reigns (1:30). The guys then break down Ambrose's shocking turn, what it says about Vince McMahon at age 73 and where the universal title heads from here (23:43). After recapping a bit more of the week that was in WWE, BC and The Silver King welcome Nikki Bella -- the longest-reigning Divas champion -- to the show. Nikki spares no breath defending her sister Brie against hate from internet wrestling fans, standing up for her run in the WWE women's division and explaining how her public-facing life can be challenging (1:14:15). The guys wrap up the show by previewing the card for Evolution, WWE's first-ever all-women's pay-per-view (1:37:00).
