Roman Reigns shocked the WWE Universe when he disclosed that his is battling with Leukemia back in 2018. He had to relinquish his Universal title. Few months later, Reigns returned to WWE and told the WWE Universe that his leukemia was in remission.
During an interview given to OutKick, Reigns discussed about the nervousness about disclosing his Leukemia to the world as he said the world can be ‘a very hurtful place’.
Thankfully, he had fans who poured enormous amount of love & positive vibes and lifted him up during the hard time in his life.
“It was a bit of a rollercoaster ride, you know. Very scary, especially to disclose this kind of information to essentially the world. We broadcast to a global audience. And I’m sure, as you know with social media and the connectivity of the internet, it can sometimes be a very toxic place, and people can say things that they don’t necessarily mean. They just want to kind of get a rise out of people or get a like, or get a comment and get a little traction. So, they’ll say anything.”
“It can be a very hurtful place. So, I was a little nervous about that, but to be honest, the support and amount of people that lifted me up, it just really made things a lot easier for me to just not focus on anything negative, and just focus on healing and on my family and getting healthy. And that was just an amazing display of love and support that even in a place as crazy as social media, here is a lot of positivity. So I mean, I’m just so thankful to have had that support and that love and know people have my back.”
Reigns was out of action since March 2020 due to pandemic where he took hiatus for several months, before making his shocking return at SummerSlam 2020. Currently, he is the Universal Champion and feuding with his cousin Jey Uso. Reigns is set to defend his title against Jey Uso inside Hell in a Cell on October 25th, 2020.
