2: The least popular babyface champion in WWE history?
Roman Reigns and AJ Styles had a fantastic match at WWE Payback. However, WWE are still pushing him as their top babyface including airing make-a-wish videos during Raw. Fans are refusing to let WWE shove Reigns down their throats.
Although some of the hate is unjustified, seeing that Reigns is constantly improving in the ring and is a hard worker, negative fan reaction right now is basically gag reflex. WWE are refusing to let the fans accept Roman Reigns organically and are trying to manufacture fans reactions. In today's day and age, fans see through this and the hate on Roman grows.
Things came to a fore on this week’s episode of Raw, when Anderson and Gallows held a beaten down Reigns after their main event. As Styles held a chair over the company’s top babyface, still deciding whether to hit him or not, the rabid crowd yelled at Styles to take the shot as pointed out by @nodqdotcom.
Side-note: Angry, out-of-control, maniacal Reign is the best Reigns.
