This past October, former WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns made a heartbreaking announcement. “The Big Dog” revealed that he has been diagnosed with leukemia, a disease he has dealt with before. As a result, he was forced to relinquish his Universal Championship. Reigns then announced he’d be taking some time off from his WWE duties to focus on his health and spend time with his family.
However, he did promise to beat the disease and return home to the squared circle. Reigns has been spotted in public a few times by fans since the announcement, who have snapped photos with the former Shield member. Yesterday, Arkansas TV anchor Susanne Brunner Tweeted a photo of “The Big Dog” from a hotel in Kauai, Hawaii. Reigns was spotted at a hotel gym and took a photo with a fan. Brunner said the former WWE champ was a “nice guy”:
Hayden's day made! Look who we ran into at our hotel in Kauai… Roman Reigns! Nice guy?

In a recent interview with WSVN-TV Entertainment reporter Chris Van Vliet, Chris Jericho provided an update on Reigns’ health:
“He’s doing his treatment, and I think things are going really well. I don’t really know much about leukemia. I don’t know what the endgame is as far as when you’re ‘cured’ — when it goes into remission, when you can do physical matches or travel or whatever it is. But we talk to him quite a bit.
“I’ve got a group text with him in it, and I text him on the side quite a bit. He always seems to be doing pretty well and in good spirits. We love him, and I think it’s just a matter of time before he comes back. But more importantly that he stays healthy for his family, for sure.”
