It's a four month recovery from cancer. Something every person on Earth has known someone with. People are going to be suspicious of a four month recovery. Plus, he doesn't look like he's even been ill - no weight loss, nothing. Looks as fresh as a daisy. Maybe he really is superman. Yeah, and someone was saying he wore his hair up because it was thinning?!? He probably has the thickest hair on the whole roster.

It just doesn't seem explainable with modern medicine with what everyone else goes through.

I saw on Twitter an account called Leukaemia Care. They tweeted a thread explaining different types of leukemia, the different treatments for it, etc. that would probably debunk any speculation to how sick Roman really was. BTW, I don't believe Roman Reigns wasn't sick with cancer at all. We don't really know how bad his leukemia is. I'd highly recommend this twitter thread. twitter.com/LeukaemiaCareUKEdit: I only posted the link to their twitter, and not just their thread cause the first tweet appeared on this post, so to avoid trouble with pages stretching, I just posted their account, but the thread is pinned to their twitter.

Come on guys, this wasn’t what this thread was meant for.

Sounds like some people on this thread are salty. There’s different ways to treat cancer. There’s also different levels as well, everyone reacts to it differently. I just don’t see why the wwe would pull a publicity stunt on that level of magnitude... Some people are just going to hate on everything.

Hear me out.
What if it really is a swerve? And becomes bigger than the Montreal screwjob?
Roman would be the most hated man in (probably) the history of wrestling.
But that's best for business.

Leukemia is different than other cancers, it is treatable and depending on the person some can have extremely successful treatment. Idk how anyone can even insinuate that this is a work. If it were a work, there’s no way it could be kept a secret. You think they worked the entire roster as well? And for what? Him to get cheered? There’s a million other ways they can get Roman cheered. If they wanted him to get a pop every single week he would. I never said I believed that it was a work. What I did say was that in spite of my lack of expertise, and the part of me that has trouble processing how physical he got and how great he looks I choose to believe that he kicked its ass, and I'm really happy for him....but if I were ever to be afflicted personally that I pray that I would come out on the other side looking as good as he did. It's more a testament to how healthy he looks. Maybe it was misinterpreted, but I never insinuated that it was a work. In retrospect my opening sentence could've set the wrong tone, but I was kind of in a state of shock. In October I don't think that anyone expected to see him getting physical in less than 6 months. He likely had a less virulent type of Leukemia.

I’m probably gonna get heat for this but I’m having doubts about this (and we’re talking about Vince McMahon here) my mother in law fought leukemia for 3 years (rip she was such a wonderful woman and I loved her very much)She went into remission 2 times, she was sick more than she was better. She was super weak, super thin, lost all of her hair twice. I just don’t see how he beat this so quickly and also had time to film a movie, is doing spears,Superman punches, and is back in time for a program at wrestlemania. Like I said, I could be wrong but as someone who has been affected by this horrible disease it gives me doubts. We’ll see if they actually book him at Mania. Agreed. I'm more skeptical than before. Even for minor surgeries, WWE has little video packages interviewing the doctor/physical therapy help, and give us some insight. Why wouldn't they do that for their top guy? Also I don't know of any actors spending 15 hrs/day on movie sets while bouting a life threatening disease. No hospital photos? No video updates from only the biggest full-time name? But 4 months later "hey, yo, I'm back belly dat"? This all just smells weird. Please stop. Roman probably had a less virulent type of leukemia which would explain the fast recovery. Save your Conspiracy crap for cheeto eating losers like Alex Jones.

What if...and hear me out, here...'cancer' wasn't a rubber stamp seal of death that comes with a predisposed list of symptoms, severity, and prognoses that fits into a 'one size fits all' package for mass equitable consumption?

But that's best for business. if it was false the wwe would face massive repercussions - i’m sure Make A Wish would have to make a statement and may even separate ties without WWE. Sponsors would cut lose. Stock would fall. Public perception would literally be at an all time low. and the WWE would lose the fans that believed they wouldn’t behave in such a disgusting way. it wouldn’t do a single good thing.

I said in the other thread, I can name 50 reasons off the top of my head why they would never pull a stunt like this. The company would go out of business and essentially it would be the end of pro wrestling in the main stream forever. No one would ever touch wrestling in a serious money making fashion ever. It would be over.

I remain completely sceptical of the whole thing.
The way it's all been aired and conducted solely on Raw is... odd. And the t shirts what is that about?

Honestly, there's is no doubt in my mind that Reigns had a relapse, and had to take the time off to deal with the leukemia, mainly because, as others have said, if WWE made up the whole thing, and that got out (which come on, in today's world, it eventually would), it would be such a huge PR hit to them, and as questionable as Vince has been in the past, there's no way he would take that risk. Especially with many of the connections the company has today. The only type of doubt I have, and it's the tiniest doubt, is maybe they tried to present his diagnosis as a bit worse, then it actually was. But even then, with the reaction of a lot of the guys when he made that announcement last year, they're either amazing actors, or the company and Roman all lied to them, and I don't see that happening either. The only real thing that bothers me about this, is no that Roman has a second victory over the leukemia, I totally see the company exploiting the crap out of it to have fans stay behind him.

I'm very happy for him and his family that he is in remission but good God, keep him away from my TV. I could do without him for the rest of my life. My exact thoughts.

I don't think his return has a ton of real impact on the Mania card. He'll likely face McIntyre or maybe even Ambrose. I'd be good with either of those matches.

Didn’t know we had a bunch of doctors and medical professionals here questioning the severity of his cancer. A lot of you forget that there are chronic and acute forms of leukemia. Some can be dealt with a lot quicker if you catch it on time, which sounds like that was the case with Roman.
Now, please stop with questioning the severity of a man’s real-life illness. And STAY ON THE TOPIC.

I REALLY hope/pray they save Roman vs Drew. I think having Drew win the title at SummerSlam and then us getting Roman vs Drew next year at WM is money.

im happy he is back and in remission, its truly great for him, his family and everyone around him.
however if they just shoehorn him into the main event of 'Mania again simply because he's back now, that would be pretty damn wrong. Seth has done A LOT the last year+ to earn his match. He deserves to have the spotlight given to HIM for once, and he deserves to be the guy to take down Lesnar.
Honestly if I'm the WWE, of course I want Roman on the show, so if he's around the next few weeks you can easily have literally anyone attack/challenge him. Hell even give him a squash vs Corbin if that's what it takes.
But if they really are hell bent on getting him in the main event, you have Rollins win....Roman AND Dean come out to celebrate with him, and they pull the Evolution turn, where Roman is the guy who turns on both Dean and Seth and you have the next biggest heel in the business ready to go, plus Seth's first title feud and even a way to write Ambrose off TV since he's leaving.
