Around 70,000 fans watched the world's best WWE stars at the biggest pro wrestling event ever in Australia.... WWE champion Roman Reigns has made an emotional return to Monday night RAW — his first appearance since revealing his leukaemia battle in October. The 33-year-old left the wrestling world stunned four months ago when he confirmed he will be taking a break from the company to fight a new battle with leukaemia. He revealed at the time he has battled leukaemia for 11 years, since he was first diagnosed as a 22-year-old. His return on Tuesday (AEDT) seems certain to join the list of iconic WWE moments after he took centre stage and announced to the world his cancer is in remission. “The big dog is back,” he said as a grin stretched across his face. The incredible update left fans overjoyed. After announcing his positive leukaemia update, the fans in Atlanta erupted. Reigns needed several minutes to reach the ring, greeting fans and well-wishers during his lengthy walk out. He stood alone in the ring with the microphone to open the show. “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. We hit a home run,” he started saying. “When I tell you this I am so grateful, I’m so humble and I’m so honoured to announce this. “The good news is, I’m in remission, y’all,” he said before he needed to take a long pause as the crowd screamed for him. “So with that being said, the big dog is back.” The Big Dog is BACK! #RomanReigns announces that he is in remission and back on #Raw! @WWERomanReigns pic.twitter.com/yHQdiFH2Ty — WWE (@WWE) February 26, 2019 He also sent fans a personal video message through the WWE. Reigns’ first appearance back for the WWE was announced last week by boss Vince McMahon ,who simpy said the former heavyweight champion would be addressing the status of his fight with leukemia. Reigns is also scheduled to appear on Good Morning America on Wednesday morning (AEDT). The father of three, whose real name is Leati Joseph Anoa’i, apologised to fans in October for hiding his cancer battle. “I feel like I owe everyone an apology,” he said last year. “For months, maybe even a whole year, I’ve come out here as Roman Reigns and said I’d come out here every week, that I’d be a fighting champion, that I was going to be consistent, that I was going to be a workhorse — but that’s all lies. “The reality is, my real name is Joe and I’ve been living with leukaemia for 11 years. “And unfortunately, it’s back. The leukaemia is back and unfortunately, because it’s back I can’t fulfil my role, I can’t be that fighting champion. And I’m going to have to relinquish the universal championship. “I’m not going to lie. I’m going to take every prayer you can throw my way, but I’m not looking for sympathy. I’m not looking for you to feel bad for me because I have faith. “When I was 22-years-old I was diagnosed with this. Very quickly I was able to put it into remission, but I’m, not going to lie that was the hardest part of my life. I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have money. I didn’t have a home and I had a baby on the way and football was done with me. “But do you know who gave me a chance? The team who gave me a chance was WWE.” He went on to declare he will return to the WWE. “I will beat this, I will be back, and you will see me very, very soon,” he said. “Once I’m done whooping leukaemia’s ass once again, I’m coming back home.” His remission announcement and the emotional response from the crowd left WWE commentators trying to fight back tears. Congrats on hitting a homerun & winning your fight, #RomanReigns! Like the @WWEUniverse, I am thrilled to hear this fantastic news. https://t.co/2UBWzZ3uc6 — Version #BROKEN Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) February 26, 2019 Yesss welcome back @WWERomanReigns 🖤🖤🖤 — Daria Berenato (@SonyaDevilleWWE) February 26, 2019 Roman Reigns announces on Monday Night Raw that his cancer has gone into remission. Incredible news.#RAW — Damon Martin (@DamonMartin) February 26, 2019 Damn, it's cool to see this crowd reception for Roman Reigns. Chills. #RAW — Robbie Fox (@RobbieBarstool) February 26, 2019<doc-sep>WWE Raw Results : Roman Reigns announces his return to WWE leaving the fans shrieking in happiness. Roman Reigns who announced a break from WWE Raw Results in October after getting diagnosed with leukemia is now all set to return and this good news has created quite a stir on social media. He returned to an emotional and overwhelming response over his announcement that his leukemia was in remission. This is perhaps the biggest news for WWE Championship fans and rightly so. Reigns used a baseball analogy to announce his recovery from leukemia and wrote, "we hit a home run, Y'all!" While it is still not clear if the celebrated Wrestler will return to the in-ring competition immediately, Roman made it clear that he has to crawl before he walks and then run over his return. It is being believed that Roman's absence from the championship is one of the major reasons for the decline in female viewership for the show. As the crowd chanted “WELCOME BACK” for the Big Dog, Roman thanked them for their support. He was quoted telling the crowd that he missed them, and there is no other job like this. "There is no other fanbase like the WWE Universe," he said and added that he is a man of faith, but before his announcement in October, he was terrified. "He was insecure and he didn’t know if he wanted to share that secret with the world,"he stated and added that his fans have been his strength during the last few months of struggle.

A few months back, Joe Anoa'i who is popularly known as Roman Reigns announced that his leukemia had relapsed. He relinquished his RAW Universal Championship and also announced his temporary departure. Currently, any news related to Reigns captures the headlines because of his popularity in the sports entertainment industry. On February 21, WWE announced that he is going to make his return on RAW next week to update the Universe on his battle with leukemia. With almost no health updates from Reigns or the company, this news has completely flabbergasted the Universe, and hence, they are eagerly waiting for the Big Dog. As expected, several superstars have issued their statements through tweets, and they have outpoured their love and support for the former Shield member. Here's what they tweeted: No one fights harder and is tougher than @WWERomanReigns. Can’t wait to see him back in his yard this Monday on #Raw and hear how his battle is going. https://t.co/593ezcnNy4 — Triple H (@TripleH) February 22, 2019 Rusev came up with a tinge of humor: I’ll take the Superman Punch and the spear brother, @WWERomanReigns — Rusev (@RusevBUL) February 22, 2019 Vince McMahon has accepted that the reason behind WWE's recent low ratings could be Reigns' absence. According to SkySports, McMahon Jr. said, "The unfortunate aspect of sometimes in our business is that our performers are not cartoons. They get hurt. This year, leading up to where we are now, we've had an inordinate number of injuries and when you have injuries, there's a whole bunch of them. Roman Reigns being the principle among them." There are many speculations behind Reigns' return. Some of them are very insensitive and state that Reigns never had leukemia, and it was just a storyline. But many of them are speculating that Reigns will make his in-ring return at 'The Grandest Stage Of 'Em All'. As the opening quote stated, we don't know what the future holds. The real purpose of Roman's return will be revealed next week on RAW. All we can hope for is Reigns' speedy recovery and his in-ring return. Get well soon 'The Guy'.<doc-sep>
