However, he managed to become one of the most beloved WWE Superstars of all time. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper fought many wars with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Bret “Hitman” Hart, Ric Flair, and many more. However, his biggest battle came in 2006 when Piper was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. Piper found out that he was diagnosed with the disease in November 2006. The veteran was active with WWE at the time and as fate would have it, he was one of the choices to be Ric Flair’s partner for the Cyber Sunday (2006) pay-per-view. Piper would thank the fans graciously, he disclosed that if he wasn't picked to be Flair’s partner he would never have gone on to the hospital over that weekend. If he hadn't gone, he wouldn't have received the diagnosis in time to catch the disease. The legend would undergo a series of radiation treatments to beat the disease and was put into remission in January 2007. Sadly, Piper died years later in 2015 after suffering a heart attack.

He is currently the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and has been champion for over two years. Reigns is the leader of The Bloodline and recently defeated Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle to further assert his dominance in the company. However, in Reigns’ early youth, he had to endure a scary battle with Leukemia. He beat the disease even before he became a WWE Superstar. Years later, in 2018, the cancer had returned. Reigns was forced to relinquish the Universal Championship at the time and took a leave of absence to combat the disease. Roughly four months later, Reigns made his return to the company and announced on RAW that he was in “remission”, having beaten the disease yet again.
