A mini-documentary on Roman Reigns is set to air after WWE RAW tonight called WWE Chronicle. It will deal with the star’s battle with cancer and subsequent return. In the first clip released from the show, Reigns discussed what it means for other cancer victims and the response he’s gotten.
“In a weird way it makes me sad, but it makes me happy too,” said Reigns. “You think man, this is what had to happen to reach some of these people. But at the same time, I’m glad it reached some people. If it reaches one kid fighting for his life and going through treatment, sitting by a bed by himself and can use me as an image to drive him … if that one kid can say if Roman can do it then I can do it, then my job is done. If I can be a figure that makes these children or anyone going through blood cancer fight a little extra and want to live for an extra day. Give them the strength to keep going … then my story landed. It did what it needed to do.”
However, he doesn’t want this to change how fans perceive him. “I’m not asking for sympathy,” remarked Reigns. “If you want to boo me, boo me. I don’t care. I just want to be out there. I don’t need anyone’s sympathy. I want to entertain you again.”
