Sticking with the theme of fans cheering heels against Roman Reigns, we cast our minds back to the 2016 Royal Rumble match. That year, the Rumble experienced a bit of a shakeup as The Big Dog was forced to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the actual Royal Rumble match - entering a Number 1.

When it looked like Reigns would be pulling off a win yet again, the fans quickly lost their patience - until Triple H made his presence felt. Entering at Number 30, The Game eliminated Reigns and went on to become a 14-time World Champion - much to the delight of the WWE Universe.
