WWE fans rejoice as Roman Reigns reveals his cancer is in remission

Roman Reigns, whose real name is Joe Anoa’i, returned to WWE Raw Monday night, just four months after revealing his battle with leukemia. And Roman brought good news with him when he revealed that his cancer is in remission.

During a Raw event last October, Roman told fans, “The reality is my real name is Joe, and I’ve been living with leukemia for 11 years, and unfortunately it’s back.” Roman announced that he was stepping away and relinquishing his championship belt in order to focus on his health.

In his return Monday, Roman repeatedly thanked fans for the outpouring of support they showed. He said, “The amount of thoughts, the amount of blessings, the amount of prayers that you sent my way is completely overwhelming and godsent. Thank you so much.”

After thanking the fans, Roman announced, “The good news is, I’m in remission, y’all.” And while the audience burst into loud applause, thousands of viewers at home took to Twitter to celebrate the good news.

While Roman didn’t announce when his first match will be, he did say, “With that being said, the big dog is back!” Later in the night he gave fans a little preview of what to expect, when he crashed a match and showed off a few wrestling moves.

WWE Raw airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on USA.
