10 Times Wrestlers Cried And Made Everybody Feel Really Awkward
4. Roman Reigns (Survivor Series 2015)
Whether the company even consider it an actual problem anymore is another discussion entirely, but WWE's reckless booking of Roman Reigns following The Shield's split ensured that 'The Guy' would never be the universally beloved top babyface.
After completely blowing his first singles push for the title to such a degree that his Royal Rumble 2015 victory was utterly despised and his WrestleMania deconstruction by Brock Lesnar was greeted with roaring support, his first title win and loss at the conclusion 2015's Survivor Series mini-tournament for Seth Rollins' vacated championship.
Scoring the win over his friend Dean Ambrose, he then succumbed to Sheamus cashing in his Money In The Bank contract just over five minutes later after shunning Triple H's endorsement as confetti rained down.
Flat on the canvas surrounded by the multi-coloured decorations and good-humoured derision from the capacity crowd, the direction for Roman to tearfully stare into the wilderness was yet another rotten decision.
His first ever title win had been obnoxiously punctuated, but he could only share the expression of a sad puppy rather than an enraged 'Big Dog'. His tears were yet another misfire, only highlighting the disconnect between the creative team and a large section of WWE's support.
