3 heels who were cheered and 2 faces who were booed by the WWE Universe in recent years

#2 Roman Reigns (face)

Roman Reigns is considered the most polarizing superstar of this generation. His presence invokes an immediate reaction from the WWE Universe - either positive or negative. Before his unfortunate departure from the company following the return of his leukemia, Roman was used to being booed out of most shows in the USA.

In all his feuds until his departure last month, Roman was portrayed as the face, but failed to get the positive reception from the crowd. His heel opponents like Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar were heavily cheered during his feuds.

#1 Becky Lynch (heel)

"The Man" Becky Lynch turned heel at Summerslam this year when she attacked her longtime friend Charlotte Flair after losing the triple threat match for WWE Smackdown Women's Championship.

The crowd unanimously cheered Becky when she attacked the babyface Charlotte at Summerslam, and the fans continue to cheer The Man ever since then. Becky Lynch currently portrays the character of an arrogant heel champion on screen but still, the WWE universe continues to cheer her.
