Sasha Banks was recently a guest on Conversations with Maria Menounos. During the interview, Sasha spoke about the news that Roman Reigns’ Leukemia has returned after 11 years.
Sasha confirmed the reports that there were very few people backstage at RAW that had any clue that the announcement was coming.
Here is what she said (h/t to Ringside News):
“I didn’t know, and I don’t want to cry ’cause he’s so…he’s very special, and I’m still shaken from that news.
“I remember getting ready for my match and walking backstage and everyone just stopped and was watching some kind of screen of any sort that they could see, and I’m like ‘what’s going on? what-what did he just tell us?’
“Everyone found out with that promo, the whole world. No-one backstage knew. I ran to gorrilla ’cause I’m like- he is the strongest, most amazing man I’ve ever met. He’s taught me so much since I’ve been on RAW.
“Just to see the outreach on Twitter too of people just wishing him well, knowing that people are gonna pray for him, I know he is going to get through this because he is so strong.
“To know he has been battling with this and didn’t tell a soul and he is legit. He is a leader, he is everyone- everyone looks up to him. There’s no bad word[s] that anybody can say about him, because he is the hardest working person I’ve ever met, and I wish him all the best, and I know he’s gonna overcome this.”
On a related note, Sasha also revealed why she missed time over the past month.
