As noted, Roman Reigns made history last night at ESPN’s ESPYS by winning the first-ever Best WWE Moment award, for his recent return to the ring after battling leukemia. Reigns also presented the Best Coach award. Cathy Kelley, WWE Universal Champion Seth Rollins, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch were also in attendance.
Stephanie McMahon and The Rock also took to Twitter to congratulate The Big Dog on his win.
