Jubilation as WWE star announces cancer is in remission, returns to action on Raw

Roman Reigns, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstar, has announced his return to the rings after the remission of his leukemia that forced him out of the ring close to four months ago.

The 33-year-old made his first appearance on Monday Night Raw to give his fans an update on his real-life battle with leukemia and it was fantastic news.

"I said I was going to swing for the fences. We did better than that, y'all. We didn't just swing for the fences," Reigns said.

"We hit a home run. So when I tell you this, I'm so grateful and so humbled and so honoured to announce this.

"The good news is, I'm in remission, y'all. So with that being said, the Big Dog is back!" Reigns said much to the jubilation of wrestling fans in attendance.
