Well, sadly, Roman Reigns may now have more in common with some of the fans he meets, as he, too, faces a very real battle of his own.

Roman Reigns opened this week's episode of Monday Night Raw to address recent rumours that he may be injured, hence why he missed this weekend's live shows - a rare occurrence for The Big Dog.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Instead, Reigns shocked the world with an even more heartbreaking announcement no-one saw coming. The Universal Champion apologised to the WWE Universe for not being the fighting champion he promised to be - breaking character to reveal his identity as Joe and confirming he has been fighting Leukemia for 11 years and had to step away from the ring to continue battling the condition.

While it's heartbreaking, Reigns has received an incredible outpouring of support from wrestlers and fans alike, with everyone noting just how tough he is.

Reigns' battle with Leukemia is one fight where the entire world is behind him, and it's one many of his fans can identify with. With Roman Reigns fighting to overcome Leukemia for the second time, there's no doubt he's a true hero and inspiration, and we wish him nothing but great health in his fight.
