Does Roman Reigns Still Have Cancer?

There isn’t one fan or one individual in the wrestling industry who doesn’t know the name Roman Reigns. The name is associated with The Samoan Wrestling Family, and he’s carrying an entire legacy on his shoulders.

However, while he’s the epitome of strength and courage, The Tribal Chief went through a painful phase when he battled leukaemia. He was diagnosed with the same when he was 22 years old, but when he had reportedly defeated it when he came to WWE for the first time.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of his battle with leukaemia. On October 22nd, 2018, Roman Reigns cut an emotional promo on WWE Raw.

He announced that his white blood cell count had elevated, and he had to take a break from the ring to battle leukaemia again.

Is Roman Reigns cured from cancer?

With cancer, it’s extremely difficult to predict if one has successfully defeated the disease for good. Most of the time, individuals battle it, defeat it, but there is always a chance of it resurfacing.

Therefore, The Tribal Chief never officially announced that he is completely free of cancer. However, when he returned to Monday Night Raw on February 25th, 2019, he announced that he is in remission. As a result, he was medically cleared to return to the WWE ring.

On February 25th, 2021, Roman Reigns put out a Tweet marking two years of him returning to WWE Raw after battling leukaemia successfully.

Does Roman Reigns still have leukaemia 2020?

When COVID-19 was at its peak and the pandemic was taking over the world, Roman Reigns pulled out of a match against Goldberg and took a break.

While he may have defeated leukaemia, he did not want to put himself at risk with COVID-19. Hence, he took a break from the ring until things started to settle down.

He returned at SummerSlam 2020 and became The Universal Champion at Payback 2020.

Following his return, Reigns has taken extreme precaution throughout. If he was entering the seating area during a match, he ensured to wear a mask.

Moreover, WWE and Reigns worked out an arrangement where any overseas travel would be done via a private plane for him. All of these to ensure he does not expose himself too much and puts himself at risk.

Keeping precautions aside, Roman Reigns focuses severely on physical fitness and diet. While these may not be of immediate help to defeating cancer, having a healthy lifestyle definitely helps.
