By the time Royal Rumble 2016 was upon us, the WWE Universe had gotten tired of the push Roman Reigns was getting. The Rumble was touted as "One vs All", with Reigns entering at #1.

By the end of the night, Triple H had become a 14 time World Champion and the fans knew that it was going to be Triple H vs Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.

The match headlined the show of shows, with the fans booing Reigns out of the building and clamoring for Triple H to retain the title. As the match was about to end, something happened that forced the fans to cheer for Reigns.

There's no person more hated by the fans than Stephanie McMahon. Apparently, she was hated even more than Roman! A spear meant for The Game was dodged, and the victim was the unfortunate Stephanie, who just happened to be behind Triple H.

The sea of fans inside the stadium were genuinely shocked at what they had just witnessed. For the next few moments, Reigns had become a fan favorite. Unfortunately, the fans turned on him as soon as he pinned Triple H and left the arena with the title.
