10 Times WWE Squandered A Genuine Crowd Reaction
1. Seth Rollins Returns At Extreme Rules In 2016
This one is just as mind-boggling today as it was in 2016.
Seth Rollins had unfortunately gone down injured with a completely destroyed knee in November 2015 and had to vacate his WWE Championship whilst he underwent surgery.
His return was hotly anticipated and left many fans speculating daily as to when his imminent return would be happening. So, when he finally attacked Roman Reigns, after his successful defence against AJ Styles at Extreme Rules 2016, fans audibly lost their minds and voiced their approval of Rollins' actions.
There he was, your new genuine babyface.
Not so fast.
Before we even had the chance to fantasise about how Rollins could usurp Reigns as the chosen one, he appeared on Monday Night Raw the next night and lashed out at the fans he 'never needed' when he was the champion.
In one of the clearest examples of sticking to the Super-Reigns direction in spite of themselves, WWE lost out on a nuclear babyface. By the time Rollins eventually did turn face, it was too late and - even though he was cheered for a short while - he was never able to truly take his place as the top guy in the company.
WWE really sh*t the bed on this one.
