12. Roman Reigns Was Effectively (And Sparingly) Used

Raw kicked off with a fantastic segment that won't soon be forgotten: Roman Reigns came to the ring and was met with a chorus of sustained boos from the WWE Universe, who kept chanting Roman down every time he tried to speak.

Chants included, "Undertaker!", "Roman sucks!", "Delete!", "F*** you Roman!", "Shut the f*** up!" and perhaps most cuttingly, "Go away." It took forever for Roman to actually start talking, and even then, he simply said, "This is my yard now" before leaving.

It was the only appearance Reigns had on the entire show and made extremely effective use of his heat coming off his defeat of The Undertaker. It's just a shame WWE won't run with this nuclear heat and are instant intent on pushing him as a top-line face.

Still, after how infuriatingly Roman was used at Mania, this was much more effective and tolerable for sure.
