What’s the story?
Several fans present at the recent RAW live events have been asserting the fact that the crowd reactions for Roman Reigns are getting progressively worse at the live shows.
In case you didn’t know...
The WWE’s main shows such as Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live are usually attended by hardcore pro-wrestling fans, whereas the WWE’s live events are usually made up of crowds, the majority of whom are casual fans attending the said events with their families.

The heart of the matter
It’s essential to note that the WWE higher-ups have based their excessive push of Roman Reigns on the positive crowd reaction that he usually receives at WWE’s live events in addition to him being the company’s top merchandise seller apart from John Cena.
Nevertheless, the fans’ negative reactions at the red brand’s most recent live shows may challenge the company’s aforementioned theory. Check out the examples from two RAW live events, at Providence, Rhode Island and Champaign, Illinois, respectively:

What’s next?
Reigns will reportedly face Braun Strowman at Payback on the 30th of this month, in what is being touted as a number-1 contender’s matchup for Brock Lesnar’s WWE Universal championship.
Author’s take
The WWE Universe just loves to hate Reigns and the WWE, on its part, loves to push The Big Dog all the way to the moon, booking him stronger than John Cena and Hulk Hogan combined.
You won’t find me complaining though, as I’m just another pro-wrestling rebel who loves to love what others hate. It’s Roman Reigns’ yard now – And You Can Believe That!
