“It’s Tough to be a Performer”- Roman Reigns Gives Update on WWE Return and Battle Against Leukemia

Ever since then, Reigns has not made his comeback to the ring and the fans are eagerly waiting for an update from the WWE Superstar. Recently, Roman Reigns showed up in an interview with TMZ and talks about his battle with Leukemia and about possible WWE return.

Reigns stated:

Even though Roman can make a return he chose not to protect his family. Reigns explained:

“We just had two newborn twins, twin boys,” Reigns says … “They’re 8 weeks old so I had to make a decision for them…This bigger than me” — “It’s my family, it’s my children, they are my legacy. No matter what I do in this world, my children are gonna be the ones to represent my name and carry our name forward. So I had to make that choice for them, to protect them being so young.”

Taking about the potential WWE return, Reigns stated:

“I don’t know. We are just going day by day. Taking this thing how it comes. These are weird times. We are just trying to collect as much information and make the most educated choice possible something that going forward will protect my family and myself. But I definitely want to get out there and perform for the fans. it’s tough to be a performer who is not performing. But hopefully very soon”
