5 biggest questions after Roman Reigns squashed Elias in 10 seconds at WWE MITB 2019

#1 Why is WWE afraid of Roman Reigns receiving boos?

Given the circumstances regarding Roman Reigns’ leukaemia and his time away from WWE, it is only natural that fans have been hesitant to boo the four-time WrestleMania main-eventer in the same way that they did before everybody found out about his illness.

However, it cannot be denied that his current character is suffering as a result of him receiving quieter and quieter fan reactions on a weekly basis. While fans used to boo him vociferously, there are now only smatterings of boos. While other fans would counter that by cheering loudly, there are now only smatterings of cheers.

At Money In The Bank, the obvious explanation for WWE cutting the Elias vs. Reigns match down to 10 seconds is due to the fact that the Hartford fans would likely have booed Reigns and cheered Elias if the match lasted a lengthy amount of time.

Although WWE has been widely praised for the smart booking of the match, is it really necessary to protect Reigns from boos at this point?

The man himself has even said in media interviews that he does not care whether he gets positive or negative crowd reactions – to him, all he wants to hear is noise when he enters an arena.
