When it comes to Roman Reigns, there’s nothing to the fans’ reactions. They always find a way to boo this man. In every single arena, he shows up, the crowd showers him with as many negative reactions as possible. Despite these negative reactions, Vince McMahon treats him as the new ‘golden goose’ of the company.
This is the reason that Vince McMahon pinned him for a marquee match against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, out of nowhere. Many superstars from the WWE deserved this matchup more than Reigns but he was the one to receive it. Not only he competed in the match but also become the only second man to defeat the Deadman at the grandest stage of them all.
From that point onwards, the fan backlash has reached to an extreme level towards him. Fans always complain about him stating that he has become ‘the chosen one’ for the WWE since he belongs to the legendary Samoan family.
In case you don’t know, the Samoan family members are performing in the WWE for three generations now. Roman Reigns belongs to that origin and McMahon just handed him opportunities while other wrestlers had to earn it. Superstars like The Rock, Rosey, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga and The Usos are also originated from there.
On Twitter, The Big Dog has been targeted by the fans for a long time. There are also examples that he encountered it with his own signature style. This time a similar incident happened with Reigns’ shutting the mouth of the fans. But, he might have shown a few heel antics, this time. Check out the entire Twitter war here:
Lol ok sweetie..here’s a tip, some of us don’t like @WWE or their bs politics. We’re happier where we’re at.

Let ME give you a tip amateur. @WWE is the Top of the Mountain in Pro Wrestling. A view you’ll never deserve or get to enjoy. #Facts https://t.co/sHf9ebYmi7

And your sorry ass was positioned at the top thanks to family.
You were handed your position. You never earned it.

Yea I guess working my butt off 5 days a week while being away from my wife and kids for the last 7 years is being “handed” it. #DumbAssMark https://t.co/1SlLhPdEjf

How about the other guys that work their butt off and get away from their wife and kids for years too and still jobbing?

Considering the never ending push towards him, these reactions will continue from the fans. It depends on Vince McMahon whether he intends to make him a heel persona, again to save his career, or not. WWE legends have advised him to do so on numerous occasions.
