Last night saw “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns return to Monday Night RAW for the first time since October. Reigns was clearly thrilled to announce the great news that his leukemia is now officially in remission. Roman proudly told the WWE Universe that “We didn’t just swing for the fences…we hit a home run!” in regards to his journey.
It didn’t take long for the wrestling world to react to this positive announcement, with other WWE Superstars taking to social media in order to give their congratulations and well-wishes.
John Cena, Sami Zayn, Natalya, Mustafa Ali and more all commented on Reigns’ return.
“Real superheroes exist,” John Cena tweeted. “Back and with strength and purpose! It’s your yard Roman. Your time is most certainly NOW!”

Fastlane
Roman Reigns would end up side-by-side with Seth Rollins later on in the night. The two came out in order to save their former-Shield brother, Dean Ambrose, from Elias, Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin, and Bobby Lashley.
This could have been done to tease a potential matchup at WWE’s Fastlane event, which takes place on March 10th from Cleveland, Ohio.
