8 Times Roman Reigns Embarrassed Himself In WWE
5. It Doesn't Matter If You're Related To The Rock
Going into the 2015 Royal Rumble Match, the WWE Universe was solidly behind Daniel Bryan, who after being left out of the 2014 bout, was hoped to be the victor.
Unfortunately, Bryan was eliminated early in the first half of the match, displeasing many fans in the arena, who ceaselessly continued to chant for Bryan, as well as shout “bullsh*t,” “Rusev,” “CM Punk,” amongst other things. One superstar they had absolutely no interest in seeing win the Rumble match was ‘The Big Dog.’
In an attempt to get over his victory, WWE pitted Reigns in a handicap-like situation against Corporate Kane and Big Show until the monstrous team imploded at a whim and they both were eliminated. The two giants of The Authority re-entered the ring and began to destroy Reigns until…
“If ya smell what The Rock is cookin’… “
For a moment, the crowd cheered, but then even ‘The People’s Champ’ was heckled as he assisted his distant cousin, a response that visibly bothered him. Reigns eliminated Rusev when he finally hopped back in the ring, to which the jeers intensified further.
Even with The Rock’s endorsement, there was no way to convince the crowd that night he was ‘The Guy.’
