Do You Think That Roman Reigns Is Faking Leukemia In Order To Re-emerge As A Face When He Beats It?

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSSLHiWpe0k&feature=onebox]

This is the WWE Reality Era, where kayfabe no longer exists, and in order to stay contemporary, writers need to be more creative than ever. Today Roman Reigns announced that he's been battling leukemia for 11 years, but I suspect that this is a worked angle, and not a legitimate fact. From the manner in which Roman announced the news, to the inconsistent body language, I believe this hiatus would be the perfect opportunity get Roman over with the crowd and finally put him into the John Cena stratosphere.

Roman is not the biggest big guy, his mic skills aren't heel-level edgy, and although he can wrestle consistently, he's not quite as technically adept as some of the natural-born superstars. The reason I mention these qualities I see in Roman, is because I believe these qualities would make him a babyface heavyweight underdog.

The wrestling industry has been known to use hiatuses in the past to make crowds love wrestlers, and WWE has been trying to make audiences love Roman Reigns. If I'm completely wrong on this theory I apologise profusely, but I suppose only time will tell.

@Montanaman I bet he comes back jacked like Jinder Mahal, I bet that's really why he's gone right now. Not only that, but it will be at the Royal Rumble.

@Montanaman He'll come back and make some speech about how he never gave up, and he trained every day knowing he would return to reclaim his yard, and then he'll say something like, "Now I'm back, and stronger than ever". Eventually the shield will re-unite, despite all the current turmoil between Ambrose and Rollins, maybe even make some allusion to brothers feuding, but at the end of the day they're still brothers. Who knows? Maybe Drew Mcyntire, Braun Strowman, and Ziggler will come out, and reignite their feud, after Reigns puts Strowman down at the Rumble. It might even occur as soon as Fastlane, or whatever show they put in between Rumble and Mania.

@SW-User could be right.馃憤
