Roman Reigns has faced some of the biggest names in the business, and at WrestleMania 33 he defeated The Undertaker in the main event.
The Big Dog is only one of two people who have managed to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania, and following the main event there was speculation that it was Taker’s last match ever.
The next night Roman Reigns appeared on Monday Night Raw, and he couldn’t get a word in due to the fact that the fans booed him as loud as they possibly could for an extended period of time.
The current Universal Champion talked about the reaction on the Load Management podcast, and he noted that he could’ve stayed out there longer if needed.
“I don’t think anyone ever had more heat than I did after I beat Undertaker on that Monday night. I could’ve sat out there another ten minutes. It would’ve been easy, no problem. I could’ve gone 30 minutes out there and just let the crowd do what they do. But it’s different now because there is no live crowd so, you really just gotta go off of social media which… kinda sucks to be honest because you’re sitting there going through the — Dan from nowhere liked it. Bob from who cares didn’t like it, so it’s one of those deals where it’s sort of the social media algorithms that you have to go off of to know what’s really working because in our business, sports-entertainment, we’re used to hearing it right away, especially very detailed in what we do. It’s not like just generic team chants or sucker songs. It can get very specific with what they’re into or what they’re not.”
