WWE fans aren’t afraid to let their opinions be known, for better or worse.The crowd reaction plays a major role in the writing and performance of professional wrestling.Whether it’s the pop that comes from faces getting the upper hand or the heat a heel draws for his or her nefarious actions, nearly everything done in a pro wrestling ring is done with a fan reaction in mind.But sometimes, the reaction from the crowd isn’t the desired one or gets downright nasty, and that has become an issue for the WWE in the last couple years, particularly at pay-per-views.Here are five worst such incidents.
#5 Survivor Series 2015
Perhaps the ending sequence to the 2015 edition of Survivor Series had one turn too many, even if the final match had an expected result.
Roman Reigns beat Dean Ambrose in the finals of a tournament to determine a new World Heavyweight Champion, and the crowd reacted positively but somewhat subdued because it was fairly predictable.
Then Triple H came out and offered a handshake, which Reigns answered with a spear. The crowd seemed to love that, but then Sheamus hit him with a Brogue Kick and cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.
After a near-fall, Sheamus hit his finisher again for the title. In the midst of all those twists and turns, the crowd seemed a little lost and definitely didn't approve of Sheamus as champion.
