During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Roman Reigns discussed a series of topics related to his comeback. Reigns has been on fire ever since he returned both in the ring and in the eyes of the fans, who finally seem to be getting behind him in the wake of his battle against leukaemia.

On being diagnosed with leukaemia:
“Leukemia feels like a death sentence. That’s how I felt when I was first diagnosed 11 years ago. This time, knowing what I’d been through, I immediately felt frightened and alone.”
On what helped him:
“It was all the prayers and blessings from across the world, even from people who have no idea who Roman Reigns is. That’s what saved my life.”
On inspiring others:
“We’re all fighting some battle, Someone is out there connecting with you during your fight, even if you don’t realize it. If my story can somehow inspire someone to push another hour, or go through another treatment, then everything I went through was all worth it.”
