Former WWE Universal champion Roman Reigns made his first public appearance since he revealed that he was suffering from leukemia. Reigns was spotted at an American football match where the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were facing Georgia Bulldog. In a message on Twitter, the Reigns said, “I’m the real big dog here. To hell with Georgia, baby.” Incidentally, 33-year-old Reigns has earlier played for Georgia Tech football team as well.
Three weeks ago, Roman Reigns had relinquished his WWE Universal title belt after announcing that he will be undergoing treatment for leukemia. So this was probably the first public appearance Reigns in over a month.
In a highly emotionally charged speech, the Big Dog revealed that he had been battling with leukemia for 11 years and since it relapsed he could not fulfill his duties in the ring.

“I feel like I owe everyone an apology. For months, maybe even a whole year, I’ve come out here as Roman Reigns and said I’d come out here every week, that I’d be a fighting champion, that I was going to be consistent, that I was going to be a workhorse – but that’s all lie,” Reigns had said on Monday Night Raw.
