5 WWE Superstars Who Overcame Cancer 

#1 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns has his toughest opponent to overcome in the coming months

As heartbreaking as Roman Reigns' announcement was last night on Monday Night Raw, the one thing that fans can hold onto from his speech is hope. Reigns stated that he had been struggling with the condition for eleven years, which means that he has overcome this battle before and there is hope that he can do it once again.

In many cases, cancer does return for a second time but Reigns is obviously much more prepared for it now and is ready to take the fight to the disease. The former World Champion has proved throughout his WWE career that he isn't someone who walks away from a fight, there is no quit in The Big Dog and he now has a reason to make his return and claim that Universal Championship that he never lost.

Whilst it was a heartbreaking episode of Raw and it was hard for many fans all over the world to see a star that they have watched everyday battle something of this magnitude, there is hope and every wrestling fan's best wishes are with Roman Reigns as he looks to overcome leukemia one more time.
