After the news broke that Roman Reigns would appear on RAW this Monday to address his battle with leukemia, the wrestling world began to speculate on what that could mean. That includes Wrestling Observer Radio‘s Dave Meltzer (via Ringside News), who believes that Reigns would not be appearing on the program and Good Morning America the next day unless he had some good news for his fans.

He said: “I would presume it’s good news especially since he’s going… let’s put it this way. He’s going to Atlanta and then probably in the show I’m going to guess and then he’s gonna have to fly to be in New York for what? 5:00 AM to be in Good Morning America so obviously his health can’t be that bad if he’s gonna do that. So that’s I’m pretty darn sure he’s not going on Good Morning America to give bad news. I’m pretty sure it’s good news. I don’t know what. In that sense when I first heard it I was like, ‘That’s great.’ Then when I think about it I’m like, ‘Wow, they’re going to get a big rating on Monday,’ you know which they will and that’s fine. Then I was like, ‘God if this was any other business,’ because they’ve kept you in the dark when they’ve known stuff was going on for months. He did a movie which they kept you on the dark on until Dwyane [The Rock] released it on the last day. So it’s kinda like you know it’s like — and it’s not like people didn’t ask, I know I asked what the situation was and I thought you know if this was UFC or if this was the NBA you wouldn’t do this.
