#3 Face fans refused to cheer: Roman Reigns (2015-2018)

Reigns has become one of the most controversial WWE Superstars ever.
Reigns has become one of the most controversial WWE Superstars ever.

One of the most controversial stars in recent history, Roman Reigns has done a lot on his seven years on the main roster.

A three-time WWE Champion, Reigns has a Universal title reign under his belt, as well as stints as the US, Intercontinental and Tag Champions, plus the 2015 Royal Rumble.

Headlining four of the past five WrestleMania's, it's clear that WWE are big on the Big Dog, though this strong push has turned many fans away.

Despite all his in-ring success, fans have never gotten behind Reigns. Most will cite the ferocity with which he is pushed as their main reason for opposition.

Having a moveset regarded by many as limited compared to others on the roster, Roman is unlikely to reach the same status with fans as he has in the eyes of the writing staff.

In fact, it would take a genuine battle with leukemia for fans to start to see Reigns for the talent he is, and the Big Dog's reception since returning has been much favorable, as staying out of the title picture has clearly helped.
