5 incidents that made some fans start disliking Roman Reigns

#3 WrestleMania 32

One of the worst Mania main events ever

So despite the reaction that Reigns received at the 2016 Royal Rumble, WWE’s unyielding faith in him continued, and they were adamant that he would end that year’s WrestleMania as the all-conquering hero.

Obviously, this didn’t go down well and resulted in one of the most underwhelming Mania main events in recent memory. The fans didn’t want to see either of the competitors walk out as WWE Champion and were never actually invested in the match. The half-hour bout dragged on for viewers, and the fans in attendance were heard chanting about NXT or other significant moments from the WrestleMania weekend rather than anything relevant to the match that was taking place.

The most optimistic fans were hoping that WWE had something up their sleeve to send the crowd home happy. WrestleMania 30 had Daniel Bryan added to the main event, 31 saw Seth Rollins cash in his ‘Money In The Bank’ contract in the most dramatic way possible, but 32 ended with Reigns pinning Triple H cleanly in front of an unenthusiastic worldwide audience.

Surely this was a wake-up call for Vince McMahon and the other decision makers in WWE, the 2-year ‘Roman Reigns project’ apparently hadn’t worked and it was time to go back to the drawing board. The Samoan clearly has the talent and the potential to be the face of the company that Vince desires, but the original plan for moulding him into that had been rejected by the fans.

It was time to go back to square one and maybe it’d be best not to have Reigns ruin yet another Royal Rumble match.

Oh, not again!…
