Backstage News On WWE Trying To Get The Fans To Support Roman Reigns

It’s been a rough year for Roman Reigns. He won the Royal Rumble, main evented WrestleMania and even won the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. Although that all sounds well and good, he’s been met with major resistance with the fans along the way, so the crowd hasn’t exactly supported his accomplishments. But WWE is hoping to see that change.

It’s been reported before that Reigns was set to win the title at Survivor Series. However the plan to have Sheamus cash in was something that was decided only hours before the show began. Some fans see Roman Reigns as the “corporate” champion because they know the company has picked him to be the next face of the WWE. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is hoping to change the public’s perception of Reigns by having him feud with The Authority.

They’re hoping that as The Authority continues to hold Roman Reigns down and keep him from the title that it will get the fans to fully support him and create an interest in seeing him hold the title. WWE still wants to go all in with Roman Reigns as the face of the company. But they want the fans to cheer him when they pull the trigger.
