10 WWE Fan Reactions That Had A Serious Effect On A Wrestler
4. Roman Reigns Can't Handle The Heat (2017)
When you're paired with the undisputed king of the company, you better bring your A-game.
Sadly, Roman Reigns - in the unfamiliar position of B-side - didn't plan ahead before his verbal showdown with John Cena on Monday Night Raw back in 2017.
With Reigns appearing visibly uncomfortable throughout the two's infamous war of words, Cena continually turned the screw and the WWE Universe were starting to get behind the star who made being divisive into a career.
Then, Reigns' biggest lesson inside of a WWE ring was taught in front of our very eyes when he lost his words in the middle of his promo, due to the mix of a devilish Cena and highly sensitive crowd turning up the heat.
Looking every bit the 'second-rate Cena' he had been labelled as up until this point, Reigns was hung out to dry by the 'Leader of the Cenation' on this night. For what must have felt like an hour, Reigns stared into the abyss and racked his brain for a reaction of his own. All while the fans in attendance and Cena himself chuckled at the supposed 'Chosen One's failings in the heat of battle.
That being said, Reigns' promo work became that little more believable after this close-to-the-bone verbal sparring match. It only took being caught in the middle of a Cena/WWE Universe verbal storm to kick him into gear.
