I sort of doubt he had it because the whole time he never lost size or looked sickly like someone would if they were undergoing cancer treatment. He's the same size and clearly on roids/TRT which you also wouldnt be using if you had leukemia.

Reigns is such a cool dude. Next year Rock vs. Reigns at Mania would be massive.
This his battle and his comeback to wwe after leukemia, and to see all the charity work with kids , he’s a great dude.
I have so much respect for Joe Anoa'i aka the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. He's not only a perfect role model for people because of his determination and will power to overcome a 2nd battle with leukemia, but he's a man that puts his family's welfare before anything else...even WWE. This is a MAN right here.

Met Roman in 2014 at WM30 Axxess and asked him who his favorite UFC fighter was (same reasoning as Ariel re. the Superman punch) and he told me he's "not much of an MMA guy." His answer here is consistent with that, so he ain't no phony!
What a crossover guest. Head of the table.
Ariel really secured the Tribal Chief interview 👑
Roman is doing it right lately because he’s making it believable, it took him a long time to bring out the reality in his face and hands down it’s amazing how he’s doing it without the fans
It’s good to see this crossover between MMA and Pro Wrestling. You can see genuine respect from the entities on both sides. It’s entertainment for the fans at the end of the day .

I'm from the Attitude Era. Romans about the only reason I could watch wrestling nowadays. So much has been lost since the days of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, DX, and so many more ELITE wrestlers. You can tell Roman was built for that Era and has kept the torch lit. But it's hard to do it solo. There's not many like those names above nowadays but he's one of em.

The best part of this interview is reigns is in his tribal chief character. I love it.

Thanks Ariel for introducing me to Roman. I'm not a pro wrestling fan and never seem him wrestle but I'm now a fan of this guy because his morals, beliefs and attitude. Plus this guy battled cancer, alot of respect to him. May go watch some of his highlights now. 👍
Joe (Roman) is so unbelievably cool and chill. Love the dude 🔥
I like how Ariel isn't trying to hide that he's a WWE first guy anymore 🤣. Too much war between the WWE and MMA communities. There's some of us that like both.
You know, as a hardcore MMA fan, I gotta aknowledge dis guy as The Tribal Chief, The Head Of The Table, The Provider 💪 He's gonna smesh Edge and DB at Mania.

He proves those idiotic "fans" wrong every night. Every night he shows why Vince put his trust in Roman. Obviously Roman being so interesting as a heel shows it was meant to be but the longer we waited the sweet it became seeing Roman in a position he's clearly more comfortable in.
