15 Notable Instances Of WWE Crowds Reacting Poorly To Roman Reigns

13. Royal Rumble 2015 (Philadelphia)

And here's where it all started to go south. Philly's been a hip crowd for quite some time, and once the humble, strong-willed Daniel Bryan was bounced out of the Rumble, the 'City of Brotherly Love' had none of Reigns, who entered nineteenth to immediate verbal venom. As soon as the first, "Da-DUH" of his theme music cued, he didn't stand a chance. The insulting ending with Kane and Big Show tossing out lifeless bodies of several regarded talents was bad enough, but Reigns mopping up the giant excesses (after playing dead for a while) only spiked the anger. The fact that The Rock flew cross-country to endorse Reigns with the raise of an arm says that WWE knew this reaction was coming. The stunt backfired, and #CancelWWENetwork trended immediately following the show.
