Reigns shared the positive update while appearing on WWE television for the first time since revealing his battle with leukemia, which had returned 11 years after he was first diagnosed with the disease. “The good news is, I’m in remission, y’all,” Reigns told the crowd on last week’s Raw. “So, with that being said, The Big Dog is back.”

There had been signs that things were going well — or at least as well as they could have been — but it’s best to never make assumptions about such a sensitive situation.
