10 Greatest Wrestling Comebacks Ever

3. Roman Reigns

"I'm in remission y'all" is still one of the most emotional sentences in wrestling history. After announcing that he had suffered from leukemia earlier in his life and that it had returned in late 2018, Roman Reigns gave up his Universal Title and walked to the back, leaving millions uncertain of his future as a wrestler or if he'd even survive this nightmarish disease. Over the next few months, the worries were severe from wrestling fans everywhere, who couldn't imagine a world without Roman in it.

But after only a few months of absence, well before anyone could have expected or hoped for, he kicked cancer's ass and returned to the ring, to the euphoria of everyone who had hoped and prayed for his health. It was a genuine real world miracle and the celebration from the crowd when Roman smiles upon breaking the good news is one of the purest wrestling moments in history, one that's impossible to hold back tears at.

Another lengthy absence would occur due to the COVID-19 pandemic but Roman is once again the Universal Champion, holding his belt that the cancer forcibly took from him years ago. He is truly back.
