Summary
The Big Dog is back in WWE ... and on State of Combat. Just two weeks after returning to WWE following his battle with leukemia, Roman Reigns stops by to speak with Brian Campbell and Adam Silverstein. Reigns discusses his fight with cancer, the immense support from fans, what else he did while away from the squared circle, his thoughts on Dean Ambrose turning the night Reigns made his announcement and what may be one final match with all three members of The Shield at Fastlane. BC and The Silver King then discuss the Reigns interview, including some questions left unasked and their hopes for WWE's top star at WrestleMania 35. Before they sign off, the guys also dive into Ronda Rousey's heel turn and YouTube video in which she shares some choice words -- err expletives -- with the WWE Universe.
