Despite being the heel, Strowman received all the praise from the WWE Universe, mostly due to the fact that the fans weren't too pleased with the idea of Reigns being a babyface. Especially after Reigns' monumental victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33, The Big Dog met with a reception of huge boos from the WWE Universe the night after.
At the same time, Strowman was on an absolute tear in WWE. Quite possibly on the hottest stage of his WWE career, The Monster Among Men wreaked havoc on the WWE roster and showcased his brutal strength by making an example out of Reigns.
Strowman's sheer showcase of power led to him flipping ambulances and production trucks and it is safe to say that the WWE Universe loved every bit of it.
