7 Times Roman Reigns Acted Like WWE's Biggest Heel

3. Making Fun Of Rusev's Family

WWE seem to believe that heels are there to be mocked, even when the insults and verbal jabs come across more as bullying than justifiable comments. That was the case on the 8 August 2016 Raw. Celebrating his recent wedding to Lana, Rusev was showing pictures from the ceremony when Reigns decided to interrupt for no reason.

Well, he did have a reason (Roman wanted a shot at the United States Title), but he chose to keep that quiet until he'd called Rusev "sasquatch" and Lana a "mail order bride". WWE's supposed top babyface then giggled like a scheming schoolboy when the beautiful Lana ended up ruining her expensive dress and got covered in wedding cake.

Rusev and Lana were completely right to be furious that Reigns had spoiled their celebrations, and the situation was worsened when then-GM Mick Foley gave the no-good perpetrator a shot at the US gold. Talk about setting an example to children, all this told kids was that making other people miserable can get you what you want.
