At SummerSlam, Reigns triumphantly returned to WWE and won the Universal Champion a week later. However, he did so as a heel. By aligning himself with Paul Heyman, Reigns became the top heel on SmackDown and became the Head of the Table.

While some praised Reigns’ character work and he gained some fans, he still received heat from the WWE Universe. At WrestleMania 37, Reigns received massive boos from fans inside the Raymond James Stadium. After hearing WWE project boos inside the WWE Thunderdome, it was refreshing to see fans boo him for real once again.

On the other spectrum, Edge‘s long awaited return to the main event of WrestleMania yielded the biggest pop of the night. His entrance will go down as one of the most explosive entrances in WrestleMania history.

Despite being WWE’s to babyface for most of his career, Roman Reigns has been subject to the loudest boos. Negative reactions became synonymous with Roman, irrespective of his talents as a performer. He’s headlined five WrestleMania’s and has been booed in all five matches.

At the 2015 Royal Rumble, Reigns won the match to thunderous boos from the fans in Philadelphia. The choice to have him win over Daniel Bryan did not sit well with the crowd. Reigns was also booed in his first and second WrestleMania main events against Brock Lesnar and Triple H.
