WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Dec 26)
8. Roman Reigns Was Rattled By Fan Negativity
Whilst Seth Rollins was cheered when he interrupted Stephanie McMahon, Roman Reigns was not. It shouldn't be surprising at this point that Reigns was hammered with mass booing from the audience. Still, it's rare that the so-called babyface gets rattled by such negativity spewing out at him from the fans.
That was not the case on Raw, Roman lost his cool somewhat as he went to address Stephanie McMahon mid-ring. Just as he put the microphone to his lips, Roman was hit with a 'Please Don't Talk' chant from the fans. Only a small pocket were chanting, enough to throw Reigns off his game.
Hesitating, Roman then said that Braun Strowman had made a big mistake "last night". Of course, he actually meant to say it was last week that Strowman had interrupted his main event match on Raw. Quickly, Reigns corrected himself and changed the line.
Hopefully, this isn't a sign of things to come. Reigns can't afford to let management see him get nervous about what fans are chanting. It's likely this was simply a one-off mistake.
