The Big Dog may find himself at the receiving end of ridiculous hate in his native United States. However, when it comes to Roman Reigns and his following in India, the Shield powerhouse is perhaps matched by only the all-time WWE greats in that avenue.

Reigns enjoys a huge fan-following in India, especially among young WWE audience. In fact, Reigns—who’s been almost universally hated for his 2015 Royal Rumble victory rather than having fan-favourite Daniel Bryan win it—was in fact cheered on at the time by his legion of supporters in India.

One ought to note that the vast majority of pro-wrestling fans in India tend to value storylines and larger-than-life characters more than in-ring work and pure wrestling skills. Although this may differ from what the modern-day fan-base in countries such as Japan and the US look for, India still remains one of the key markets for organizations such as WWE; particularly owing to the millions of fans who tune in every week to watch WWE TV shows and PPVs—both of which are broadcast for free in India.

Needless to say, given Reigns' charisma and imposing personality, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion is perhaps the most beloved modern Superstar in India today.
