WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, has revealed why the fans like to boo Roman Reigns so much. Roman has been on a tear in the last two years and has taken on the persona of a heel that infuriates fans.
Speaking on the Wooooo Nation Uncensored podcast, the Nature Boy said this about Reigns. “The three things that people hate, they hate arrogance, they hate guys who are so damn good looking that they can be as arrogant as they want, and when you have the skill that Roman does, you’re really gonna pi** people off.”

Meanwhile, Roman Reigns thinks that if The Rock ever came back for a match, it would be against him.
The Tribal Chief and the People’s Champ are cousins and go a long way back. In fact, The Rock helped Roman Reigns win the Royal Rumble in 2015 when he helped his cousin fend off both the Big Show and Kane, who at the time were part of the Authority. And because they share a close relationship, Reigns believes that The Rock would want to face him.
He said, “Us being very close and like family, I don’t think there’s any other choice. If he ever wanted to get back into a WWE ring, I am definitely the guy he’s going to want to be facing off against.
With Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson now a household name in Hollywood and next year’s WrestleMania taking place in California, it would be fitting if the Brahma Bull came back for a match with Reigns there.
With Reigns now in a different zone in his career where everything he touches turns to gold and add to that, the charisma and the hype that The Rock would bring to the table, its no surprise that the fans will want to see this fight happen.
WWE legend, Bully Ray also said the same thing about Reigns vs The Rock. Speaking on the Busted Open Podcast, he said, “The Head of the Table, the Anoa’i family, the Samoan dynasty, the story is right there. If you’re going to give me a potential WrestleMania main event next year in Roman Reigns and The Rock, and a built-in family story – could you imagine every living Samoan who is part of that family, in attendance to see that match. That’s deep stuff. The Anoi’a family – the Samoans, the relationship with the McMahons, the depth with which that story can be told.”
