Thursday afternoon, WWE announced Roman Reigns (Joe Anoa’i) would appear on Raw this upcoming Monday (Feb. 25) for the first time since Oct. 22, 2018. It was then he revealed he’d been living with leukemia and would be relinquishing the Universal title and taking a leave of absence to get treatment for the disease, which had returned after 11 years in remission.
With no other information to go on, fans and media have been speculating on the nature of what Reigns will say on Monday in Atlanta. Whatever it is, he’ll be answering questions and possibly going more in-depth on Tuesday morning, as he’s already been announced for a follow-up appearance on he Feb. 26 edition of ABC’s Good Morning America:

In addition to the likely update on the status of his disease and a possible timeline for a return as an active WWE performer, Reigns has a couple other projects he could be promoting on GMA - a guest role on the Nickelodeon sitcom Cousins For Life which airs on Sat., Mar. 2 and a turn as his real-life cousin Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s character’s brother in the August-releasing Hobbs & Shaw.
Those will almost certainly come up when he’s in Manhattan Tuesday morning. As for what else The Big Dog has to say, looks like we’ll have to wait until Monday night when he hits our screens from Atlanta.
