Congratulations are in order for Roman Reigns.
Roman made history Wednesday night, becoming the first-ever recipient of the award for “Best WWE Moment”, for returning to Monday Night RAW and announcing his remission from leukemia.
Roman beat out Becky Lynch (for winning both the RAW and SmackDown Women’s Championships at WrestleMania 35), Kofi Kingston (for winning his first WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35) and Ronda Rousey (for capturing her first WWE Women’s Championship at SummerSlam) to claim the award.
For those who don’t follow WWE, this was a powerful moment this year, as Roman had to step away from the company and drop the Universal title due to the illness. His return to RAW on February 25, and his announcement that he was in remission sent shock waves in the industry and on social media.
Roman wasn’t the only one that’s happy about his win. Triple H and the WWE Universe showed their love and appreciation for the man known as “The Big Dog” on Twitter to congratulate him on winning the award.
