8 Times Vince McMahon used Roman Reigns to get another WWE Superstar cheered

#1. Drew McIntyre - Royal Rumble 2020

Roman Reigns did his job well

Now that we're in the last slide, let's take a moment to appreciate just how good Roman Reigns is. While we're aware that the negativity surrounding him has died down for over a year now, it's clear that he's one of those Superstars who will be appreciated a lot more once he hangs up his boots.

The last and latest entry to this list is from Royal Rumble 2020. It was a Royal Rumble of two stories - the first half dominated by Brock Lesnar and the second half featuring some incredible moments, such as the return of Edge and Drew McIntyre's Royal Rumble win.

As with his previous appearances, Roman Reigns lasted until the final two, eliminating the returning Edge. Vince McMahon knew that this would get him booed, which is why he had Reigns portrayed as the "heel" for that moment.

It led to a clash with Drew McIntyre, where the Scotsman caught him mid-spear with a Claymore Kick (see a trend here?) before eliminating him and winning the Royal Rumble. McIntyre received the pop of a lifetime and he certainly has Roman Reigns to thank for that moment.
