Booing and cheering is part and parcel of a WWE segment. For every wrestler who gets cheered, there is an opposite wrestler who gets booed. Most often, it is the heels who desire to get this adverse reaction. But in the modern era, even babyfaces get booed more often than not. Roman Reigns and John Cena are top babyfaces, but crowd often receive them with boos.
Most often, boos are the result of excellent work from the heel. NXT member Tomasso Ciampa even muted his theme song during his entrance to embrace the heel heat fans have towards him. But in a lot of occasions, the crowd boos to express their displeasure towards a particular wrestler, or even the product itself.
With all that being said, in this list, we will be taking a look at 5 of the loudest boos WWE has witnessed in the PG era.
#5 Kevin Owens and Elias - RAW October 1st, 2018
The most recent entry on this list is from the latest Monday Night RAW. Elias is known for his ability to manipulate the crowd in a matter of seconds. On this episode, why he is one of the best in the business.
Ahead of promoting their tag team match against John Cena and Bobby Lashley at the Super Showdown at Australia. Kevin Owens said that John Cena teaming up with Lashley did not make any sense, to which the drifter replied, "it does make any sense, it is like having a basketball team in Seattle". This sentence hit a nerve of the Seattle crowd, thus triggering around five minutes of loud booing.
Even though it was meant to instigate a cheap heat, the whole segment escalated into something memorable.
#4 Royal Rumble 2015
The Royal Rumble 2015 backlash would easily enter any lists involving the term "boo". The whole WWE universe wanted Daniel Bryan to win the Rumble and headline Wrestlemania 31, to reclaim the championship he never lost. However, he was eliminated rather quickly, triggering the entire arena to shower the remainder of the match with loud boos.
When Roman Reigns eliminated Rusev to win the Rumble, the boos were so loud that even the Rock couldn't save the day. The infamous hashtag "cancelWWEnetwork" made its birth at this event.
#3 John Cena - Money in the bank 2011
For every hero, there is a villain. In Chicago, CM Punk was the hero and whoever came against him automatically became the villain. John Cena had the dubious honor to defend his WWE Championship against CM Punk, who has recently made promos about the wrongs in WWE. CM Punk made his entrance first, to one of the loudest pops in WWE history. The champion, however, was greeted with an enormous scale of boos.
Whenever Punk and Cena traded blows, the crowd greeted Punk with cheers and Cena was greeted with equally strong boos. Cena is no stranger to hostile crowd reactions. In his match against Rob Van Dam at ECW One night stand in 2006, the entire Hammerstein ballroom booed the champion in unison.
#2 Entry number 30 - Royal Rumble 2017
One of the best parts of a Royal Rumble match is a surprise entry. The entry of John Cena in 2008 edition and Edge in 2010 edition of Royal Rumble were few of the most cherished moments in Royal Rumble history. However, in 2017 Royal Rumble there weren't any surprise entrant till number 29. Thus the WWE universe expected the 30th entrant to be a huge surprise - probably a debuting Samoa Joe, or some legends making a return. However, as the countdown hit zero, Roman Reigns' entrance song hit the arena - causing the entire crowd to get angry and boo the guy.
#1 Roman Reigns - RAW after Wrestlemania 33
Yet another Roman Reigns entry in this article. This is no surprise. Anyone who watched the RAW after Wrestlemania 33 knows the reception the crowd gave to Roman Reigns. At Wrestlemania 33, Reigns defeated The Undertaker, and hence "retiring" him. WWE fans did not take this kindly and the next night, they retaliated. Whenever Reigns tried to speak, the fans swore at him. Finally, when Reigns broke his silence, the boos intensified tremendously.
This segment was the most disliked video of 2017 in WWE's youtube channel.
