7 Shocking Ways WWE Tricked  Fans Into Rooting For Roman Reigns This Week

#6 The opening brawl

What better way to create electricity than to have a brawl involving The Shield?

If the entrance wasn't enough for fans to slowly get behind Roman Reigns and The Shield, the brawl that unfolded during the opening segment of Raw had to be. It was that rare blend of attitude era type booking, which the WWE had lacked for a long time and the electrifying of the moment really helped The Shield look good after what happened last week.

In fact, it was impossible not to root for The Shield after what had been done to them by Strowman, Ziggler and McIntyre, and it was a really cool way to settle the score. Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, the brawl was short-lived and resulted in The Shield getting arrested for inciting a riot.
