Over the last few years, we have seen the WWE struggle to push Roman Reigns to the top over and over again.
This is not to say that he isn't successful or doesn't have fans, of course, he does. He is one of the top-selling superstars in the WWE, but when he walks out we hear boos more often than not.
Reigns likes to say that it makes him unique because he generates a strong response whether it's positive or negative, but we have seen this before with superstars like John Cena.
They have spent a lot of time and money building the Big Dog as a character so let's take a minute to look back at some of Reigns' most triumphant moments, that didn't go down well with the WWE Universe.

In 2015 Reigns came close to losing the Royal Rumble, but thankfully his "cousin" The Rock came out to save the day and help him win.
The returning hero had surprised everyone and helped Vince McMahon's latest rising star clinch a huge victory that guaranteed him a spot at Wrestlemania, yet the audience turned on them.
Even The Rock was unable to hide his surprise at how the audience felt about Reigns' victory.
In truth, it was a confusing finish which led some people to believe that The Rock was technically the last entrant.
This in addition to the fact that people wanted to see Daniel Bryan win and had been turned off from the match from the second that Bryan was eliminated. This victory started was the beginning of the phrase "If Roman Wins We Riot."
