The Big Dog is fighting back
In October, WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns shocked wrestling fans across the world by announcing he had been diagnosed with leukemia, live on Monday Night Raw.
During the emotional speech, Reigns – real name Joe AnoaÊ»i – revealed that had been diagnosed 11 years ago but had been in remission, and now the cancer had returned.
Reigns confirmed he would be vacating his title and stepping away from the ring to fight the disease, and spend time with his family. The former Shield member had previously been somewhat of a divisive figure, but the wrestling figure came together to show their support.

Since the emotional moment, Reigns has been absent from WWE television, and public life.
Now however a selfie taken by a fan has emerged, and it shows Reigns looking healthy and in good spirits.

Police officer Jimmy Sparks got the snap while at work, and posted it to Instagram.
Hopefully, it won’t be too long before we see Roman Reigns back in a WWE ring.
