We start off with a look back to October when Roman Reigns announced that his leukemia had returned.
We are in Atlanta, Georgia and your announcers are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Renee Young.
Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring and he gets an ovation from the crowd.
Roman say he is probably going to say this a lot, but he thanks everyone. He says he misses everyone. He says there is no other job like this. There is no other fan base like you guys. He says he is ad libbing a bit. He said this was his yard but this is our yard. He said this before. Roman says he is a man of faith. He believes in God and he thinks God looks down on him. Roman says before his announcement in October, he was terrified and scared. He was insecure and he did not know if he wanted to share that secret with the world.
He says he was scared to tell everyone because he did not know how you would react. When he got home, the outreach to him through social media and other means was overwhelming and a godsend. Roman thanks everyone. It wasn't just WWE fans, it was everyone. It was people who liked him and people who did not like him who gave him support. Roman says that God was probably wondering what was going on with all of the concern for him. He loved being surrounded by your love and your grace. To be able to feel that strength, Roman says he can do anything with that strength and love.
That overwhelming support gave him strength, new life, a new opportunity, and a new purpose. In WWE, a lot of your purpose is to win titles and climb that mountain to get to the top. The only thing that is important to him is to step in this ring every night. If he can do that, he will use this platform to raise awareness and support those who are in need, just like he was.
Roman says this was advertised as an update so here is the update. Roman says when he made his announcement, he said he would swing for the fences. Roman says they did better. Roman says they hit a home run. Roman says that he is in remission. He says the Big Dog is back. Roman says before he goes, he thanks everyone once again.
