During a documentary interview, Roman said that to stop leukemia, one needs a special medicine, which he continues to this day., “For leukemia, if you caught it in an early stage like I did, you’re able to take a medication, a very important medication, that I am still on to this day.”
When was Roman Reigns diagnosed with leukemia?
Roman broke the devastating news of his leukemia diagnosis at the end of 2018. The superstar, who was once the Universal Champion, decided to relinquish his title and take a break from competition. This news crushed fans, but it was necessary for Roman’s continuing development.
A couple of months later, Reigns made his grand comeback on WWE TV on the February 2019 episode of Monday Night RAW. Roman later revealed to Variety the struggles he had to endure to get to where he was.
“This whole period of the past few months, it’s really solidified my views on family and your support system and just being around the ones you love, trying to capitalize on that love and spread it,” Roman said. “It was nice coming back with those guys, and it was more than just me. It’s a unique time for us. We’ve grown as performers and young me to be able to handle a split to where we were separated…but it was nice to be able to put that aside after being out for five months and entertain the fans. It felt fitting to come back in and lean on those guys one more time.”
