Roman Reigns: WWE megastar set for HUGE appearance amid leukaemia battle


Recommended Posts

Reigns took extended leave from WWE and vacated the Universal Championship last October after being diagnosed with leukaemia.

The Big Dog shocked the WWE Universe when he revealed that he first battled the horrible disease 11 years ago and after quickly putting it in remission the cancer unfortunately returned.

But the four-time world champion is not letting the illness get in his way as he remains very active outside of the squared circle.

 WWE have been trying to turn the ex-Intercontinental Champion into the face of the company after Cena.

The 33-year-old grappler defeated Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship last year at SummerSlam and was set to defend the belt at WWE Crown Jewel before the diagnosis.Roman-Reigns-1084742.jpg?r=1549700806496

 The former US Champion, however, is convinced he can beat leukaemia again and will come back better and stronger than ever.

Reigns said: “The reality is my real name is Joe [Anoa’i] and I'd been living with leukaemia for 11 years... And unfortunately it's back.

"And because the leukaemia is back, I cannot fulfil my role. I can't be that fighting champion and I'm going to have to relinquish the Universal Championship.

"I'm not going to lie, I'll take every prayer you can send my way but I'm not looking for sympathy.

"I'm not looking for you to feel bad for me because I have faith.

"When I was 22 years old I was diagnosed with this and very quickly I was able to put it in remission. But I'm not going to lie, that was the hardest time of my life.

"I didn't have a job, I didn't have any money, I didn't have a home and I had a baby on the way. And football was done with me.Roman-Reigns-1730373.jpg?r=1549700808442

  But do you know who gave me a chance? The team that gave me a chance was the WWE.

"After I'm done whooping leukaemia's a** once again, I'm coming back home.

"I want to show my family, my friends, my children and my wife that when life throws a curveball at me, I am the type of man that will stand in that batter’s box, I will crowd the plate, I will choke up and I will swing for the fences every single time!”
