Top 5 Times the WWE Universe Rejected Roman Reigns

#5 Wrestlemania 34: The Flipped Decision

Brock Lesnar hit the F5 on Roman Reigns 5 Times at Wrestlemania 34

It was common knowledge for the 2017-2018 season that Mr. McMahon planned on having Reigns face Lesnar again at Wrestlemania.

Finally, Lesnar would pass the torch to Reigns and the crowd would accept him as their new champion.

The promos leading up to this match were a rehash of the same stuff that has been used with the Rock and Cena.

"You don't care about this company"

"You've gotta better things to do"

This was supposed to make fans support Reigns as the wrestler speaking up on behalf of the rest of the locker room.

This was to make fans turn on Lesnar. The problem is that fans WANT to see Lesnar have another UFC fight.

WWE may lose Lesnar, but as fans, we are able to still enjoy him as long as he's being active somewhere, and the thought of him having another UFC fight only brings more credibility to him and the rest of the WWE, so the crowd's dynamic wasn't quite there.

This led to chants of "Boring" throughout the match and Boos as Roman kicked out of five F5's (a move that downed Strauman on one hit).

We can't be certain when McMahon flipped this script on Reigns as some reports indicate that Lesnar told the ref the outcome upon entering the ring.

This would mean that the Chairman of the WWE was able to tell that this was a bad idea before the match even started.

This isn't even the first time that Mr. McMahon has done last minute changes to a Wrestlemania main event to have The Big Dog lose on the grandest stage of all, as Reigns thought he was going to beat Lesnar in his first Wrestlemania title shot, only to have Rollins get the honours at the last minute.
