The hiatus of Roman Reigns has truly been one of the most harrowing things in recent WWE times.

Reigns, who had finally defeated Brock Lesnar to capture the Universal Championship, was forced to relinquish the title last October after revealing his leukemia had returned.

Since then, the Big Dog hasn't been seen on WWE TV, though will star alongside The Rock in the upcoming Hobbes and Shaw film, something that the Wrestling Observer is seeing as good news.

Speaking on Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer said that doctors he spoke to (not Roman's, nor WWE's medical team), said that Reigns' movie role is a sign his leukemia is "not a deadly form", and that "with that form, he would be wrestling soon”.

Whilst no return date can be announced at this time, this news certainly bodes well for the former World Champion.
