10 Emotional WWE Moments That Fell Flat
7. Roman Reigns Coughs Up Blood Post-Braun Strowman Assault
Any sympathy fans did feel for Roman Reigns when he was tossed out of the 2014 Rumble by Batista was long gone come Payback 2017. The past 3 years have been rough for Roman, proving without doubt he's just not clicking as a babyface and probably never will. That doesn't stop WWE trying.
Viciously hammered by Braun Strowman with steel steps, the heroic Reigns managed to drag himself from the ring and walk up the aisle almost unaided. All the while, fans threw 'You Deserve It' chants his way and couldn't have cared less that Roman was coughing up blood or clutching his ribs post-attack.
This can't have been easy for Reigns to stomach. Days before the pay-per-view, he had buried his brother and was now being cat-called by an uncaring audience who relished seeing him beat down by the supposed heel Strowman.
Just give it up, WWE; the people have had their minds made up for years now.
