Former WWE Champion, Roman Reigns, made his first public appearance since he revealed that he was suffering from leukemia. Reigns was seen during a football match in which the Georgia Jack Yellow Jackets faced Georgia Bulldog. In a message on Twitter, the Reigns said, "I'm the real big dog here. Hell, Georgia, baby. Incidentally, Reigns, 33, had previously played for the Georgia Tech football team.

Three weeks ago, Roman Reigns dropped out of his WWE Universal title after announcing that he would be on treatment for his leukemia. So it was probably the first public appearance of Reigns for over a month.

In an emotional speech, the Big Dog revealed that he had been struggling with leukemia for 11 years and that he could no longer perform his duties in the ring since his relapse.

"I have the impression of having to apologize to everyone. For months, if not a whole year, I came here under the name of Roman Reigns and I said that I would come here every week, that I would be a champion of the fight, that I would be consistent, that I was going to be a workaholic – but that's all lie, "said Reigns Monday Night Raw.

"In fact, I call Joe and I have been living with leukemia for 11 years. And unfortunately, it's back and as this leukemia is back, I can not fulfill my role, I can not be the champion of the fights and I will have to give up the World Championship, "he added.

"I'm not going to lie, I'll take all the prayers you can do but I'm not looking for sympathy and I'm not trying to make you feel bad because of my faith," said Reigns while standing up. in the ring, he added.

Although Reigns has promised to return to the WWE, dates are not yet known. Wrestlemania 35, which will take place in April next year, will certainly be missed.

"I'm coming back because I want to show you at home, to my family, to my children and to my wife that when life turns, I'll choke on it and I'll always fight for closure." I'm going to beat that and I'll come back and see you very soon, "he concluded.
