Reigns apologized to his fans, “For all my fans, I’m sorry. I didn’t get to compete this year and put on a show and entertain, but sometimes things are more important. “I had to make a choice for me and my family.”
Reigns did share that he did travel to Orlando, Florida, with every intention to performing, but later explained that he had to make a decision regarding for him and his family. “I had to make a decision for me.”

The multi-time champion did acknowledge that in performing in front of no fans is a little weird. He also revealed that he is ready to get back to work as soon as possible.
