Roman Reigns returns to WWE television tonight at Raw from Atlanta, GA. According to Vince McMahon, Reigns will be on hand to address “the status of his fight with leukemia.”
Some wrestling pundits have questioned WWE’s decision to use Reigns’ health update as a ratings ploy, but the fact that he is appearing on Raw is an encouraging sign.
After he addresses the WWE Universe on Raw, Reigns is scheduled to appear on ABC’s Good Morning America Tuesday morning. The former Universal Champion will have a one-on-one interview with host Robin Roberts. As seen below, GMA is teasing a raw, emotional segment “with an announcement you can’t miss.”

Roman Reigns’ Battle With Leukemia
Roman Reigns shocked the world back in October when he announced he is battling a recurrence of leukemia, a blood cancer. Since then, he has been undergoing treatment and also landed a few acting gigs.
Reigns recently filmed scenes for the Fast and Furious spinoff Hobbs and Shaw, which hits theaters this summer. He also filmed an episode of the Nickelodon show Cousins for Life.
On January 25th, Reigns provided a health update on Instagram. He wrote, “All of your outreach and support has been a blessing and it’s only pushed me to get back in the ring as soon as possible.”
Over the weekend, personal trainer David Gonyea posted a photo with Roman Reigns. Gonyea said it has been an “absolute honor and privilege” to help prepare Reigns for his in-ring return.
