Four months after WWE superstar Roman Reigns courageously announced during an episode of Raw that his real-life battle with leukemia was forcing him to relinquish the universal title and step away from the ring effective immediately, Reigns made an appearance on the same program Monday to provide fans with an update on his fight.

Williams sparked controversy during her loss to Naomi Osaka in September for her on-court behaviour where she accused the umpire of sexism and being a "thief". The Herald Sun newspaper and cartoonist Mark Knight have consistently called their depictio...
