This is just so flattering for everyone to kind of lift me up and show me that support system and love from everybody,”&nbsp;<strong>Reigns</strong> said.&nbsp;“It was never about awards or anything like that. It was just about awareness, it was just about sharing my story and hopefully, someone could use it for a little bit of hope.” </p></blockquote>

<p>Last October, Reigns had to relinquish the Universal Championship in order to take a medical hiatus to battle a returning leukemia. The 34-year-old Superstar was first diagnosed with the disease 11 years ago.</p>

<p>The Big Dog&#8217;s return from leukemia saw him defeat <strong>Drew McIntyre</strong> at WrestleMania 35. Both men are still engaged in the feud and it doesn&#8217;t seem like WWE is going to let them go separate ways anytime soon.</p>



<p>Reigns will be teaming up with <strong>The Undertaker</strong> to take on <strong>Shane McMahon</strong> and McIntyre in tag team action this Sunday at Extreme Rules.</p>
