6 Shocking  Ways WWE Tricked Fans Into Rooting For Roman Reigns At Summerslam

#5 The commentary

Believe it or not, the commentary team did a great job of making Roman Reigns a big deal.

While the commentary table was only audible to fans watching Summerslam on The WWE Network, the announce team no doubt played a role in getting fans behind Reigns at home. Not only was that evident by words like polarizing and and underdog, which were used to describe Reigns, but also by how poorly they talked up Reigns.

Between the hyperbole used to described Reigns hunt for his first Universal title run to the announce team reminding fans of Lesnar's upcoming UFC run, the announcers did a great job of distinguishing the two fighters. Furthermore, they also played upon the unpredictability of Bruan Strowman's impending cash in, which was also interesting to watch.
