Vince McMahon is the biggest Roman Reigns fan in the world but the hate from a large segment of the fans seems to be growing. On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, the fans in Brooklyn voiced their opinions on Reigns during his face-to-face confrontation with John Cena. In fact, the fans disliked both men so much that The Miz got a huge babyface reaction.
Sports Illustrated decided to follow-up on this and they spoke to fans outside of the Barclays Center, presumably on Tuesday before Smackdown Live. As you can see in the video below, the general sentiment seems to be that Reigns doesn’t deserve to be in the spot he is in.
