However, the leader of the Cenation has been the recipient of tremendous amounts of nuclear heat from the fans, with most of them voicing their displeasure over the WWE according Cena all the spotlight whilst simultaneously misusing younger talents.

On the other hand, Roman Reigns, much like Cena has been booed by the fans despite him not being a heel, due to the WWE’s alleged favouritism towards ‘The Guy’.

The heart of the matter

Author’s take

I’ve got to agree with DDP here. We, as fans, have every right in the world to express our opinion. However, with that being said, we ought to show the performers respect for what they do day-in-and-day-out for the sake of our entertainment.
