9 Times WWE's WrestleMania Main Event Was The Worst Match On The Card

4. WrestleMania 32: Can Triple H Get Roman Over?

Newer WWE viewers probably think grizzled fans are insane when they recall stories about the company forcing white meat babyface Roman Reigns down their throats for years while he was booed mercilessly.

For those who lived it, the never-ending Reigns push (which incredibly included several stops and starts), coupled with more delusional booking from WWE’s aging chairman, drove the product into the refuse bin and sent fans scurrying away from the company.

WrestleMania 32 itself was an overly long, subpar PPV full of underperforming matches. By the time they got to the main event, the show already was taking on water – and then Triple H and Roman punched a dozen more holes into the side and sank the show to the bottom of the Atlantic.

Reigns lost his title in the Royal Rumble that year, entering at #1 and famously taking a powder for literally half the match before re-entering and then losing to the final entrant, The Authority’s Triple H. Roman earned a title shot, setting up the main event. Surely, the dastardly Helmsley would be booed for his action and Reigns would finally be received as the hero, right?

NOPE. Reigns was booed consistently throughout his entrance, the entire 27-minute match and the celebration afterward. That’s more than a half-hour of solid boos and jeers. The match itself was a boring slog. Fans chanted, “Roman sucks!” loud enough to clearly be heard on TV. They started doing the Fandango dance and singing “Ole! Ole! Ole!” during the World title match. When Roman won the title, the jeers that rained down were apparent, only drowned out by fireworks.

Terrible, terrible match to close out a lower-tier WrestleMania. But fear not, it would get worse for Roman and his Mania main events…
