Roman Reigns is one of the biggest for a reason: The Tribal Chief has been living with Leukemia for years; back in 2019, he even took time when the disease hit him back; later, he made his return as strong as ever and once again when the world was affected by covid, Roman Reigns took time off as his body and immunity system are already weak to handle such dangerous virus, Roman Reign then came back. He turned heel in 2020, and the rest is history.
