#3 Triple H vs Roman Reigns - WrestleMania 32

Who
Who was supposed to be the heel?

Alright so here is the thing, I actually really like Roman Reigns, yes I am a man in my 20's and I like 'The Big Dog'. Even so, I still shared the many frustrations of everyone else when Roman won the number one contender's match over Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose, to face Triple H in Dallas for the WWE Championship.

As much as I have always liked Roman, I also know, based on his reaction every week, that he is not 'The Guy'. Maybe someday, after a dominant heel run, he can become a bigger face, but that is not today. Going into WrestleMania, I knew he would be booed right out of the building, and being present there in person, I can safely say that this reaction was far worse in person than for those watching from home. Roman was booed so badly that you would have thought he was the big bad heel in this one. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon did everything they could to get Roman cheered, even Steph calling every single fan in the arena 'unworthy peasants' as she made her entrance. Again, nothing helped, especially since overall the match itself was pretty piss-poor.

WWE can be as proud as they want to be about WrestleMania 32 being the most successful event they have ever produced. But everyone else will remember it for having about 90,000 of the 100,000 + in attendance loudly booing as the show went off the air.
