>gets leukemia
>survives
>WWE never brings it up again
This is the WWE. They will shamelessly use anything they can to get public attention. If Roman really survived leukemia they would make him the poster boy for leukemia awareness or some shit.

Didn't Megatron confirm that Roman has had cancer in the past but the WWE lied about it being active as a work to babyface Roman?

You don't want to make your top guy look like a cancer patient
Simple as
He had it then beat it, great backstory, let's never fucking mention it again
>there's Roman Reigns the big dog, who had cancer by the way, can you picture him with hair loss and pale and frail in his hospital bed? yeah that's the guy we book to beat everybody folks

Roman's college roommate was Calvin Johnson, a football player who has the nickname
>Megatron
CJ said Roman has cancer in the past, but it's been in remission and when the WWE said the cancer came back it was a work

It's literally easy heel heat.
>Hey Roman, why don't you go back to a hospital and shave your head like you're supposed to?
>You should've died of cancer.
>When you made your announcement, I was elated.
And so on. It's TOO easy. I don't know why WWE hasn't pulled the trigger on this, it would garner mega heat and make Roman a gigantic face.

This seems to be the most likely scenario because even if it was exposed that the leukemia didn't come back strong like he claimed, the fact would still remain that he still legitimately had it
The real problem would be if he never had it to begin with, that's the shit that would totally destroy both Reigns and WWE PR-wise (and I don't see Vince taking that chance, as crazy as he can be)
Compare that to if the general public somehow found out the leukemia coming back strong was a work but that Reigns still did suffer from it at one point; some people would still be mad about them using his condition as a work but overall it wouldn't be nearly as outrage-worthy

Nah it wouldn't I think
Cancer and illness and shit just make people uneasy, unless he gives the promo of the century while holding back tears yet still appearing strong and dignified, it's just "eh, tough shit, but eh". Almost everybody has seen somebody die of cancer and it's not dignified, nobody wants to think about that shit too much at a wrestling show.
It's not even the kind of heat that gets people mad at the heel, just uneasy, like "man that wasn't necessary"
In wrestling you want pure humiliation or pure dignity. Cringe just doesn't draw, feeling uneasy has never made anybody spend money.

Friendly reminder that WWE lying about Roman's cancer is why Mox quit

he's on oral chemo perpetually so I guess he's a bit sensitive about the subject and doesn't want to bring it up or wwe recognizes it would be a bad look.
