Crown Jewel just came to an end and several fans could be carrying a disappointing memory of the main event. It looks like fans are growing tired of Roman Reigns. This does not pertain to the character that he portrays, but to the antics he uses in order to secure a victory in any match.
Roman Reigns is losing his spot as the fan-favorite
Although the current storyline is doing a good job at building The Tribal Chief up as a ‘big bad’ of the promotion, fans are not exactly fond of how things are being carried out. His position as the Universal Champion has been challenged several times. However, due to his antics, he still retains the title.

Not only is Reigns currently under heavy moral judgment from fans, but his popularity is also at risk. This is mainly because he doesn’t show up often in the promotion. However, his ways of securing the victory may also be a factor in his declining popularity among WWE fans.
In fact, his recent title retention at Crown Jewel was so hated by fans that they paraded the entire internet advocating against WWE’s ‘stale’ creatives. Fans demand to see something new instead of a match that they can predict beforehand.
Fans grow tired of Roman Reigns
Suiting well to his heel persona, The Tribal Chief uses illegal or unethical methods to retain his title. His Crown Jewel match against LA Knight was the fifth title defense this year, and also the fifth time he used interference in order to secure his position as the WWE Universal Champion.

A fan points out how The Bloodline’s involvement in every match is necessary for Roman Reigns to win.
“…but it’s the same old story.” – @MichaelCole
He’s right. Roman Reigns can’t win a match without Bloodline interference. The same old story is getting stale @WWE . #WWECrownJewel

Even the ‘template’ for the match has been regarded as ‘stale’ now.

LA Knight showed he belonged in the main event, but Roman Reigns wins again with interference.
The match served its purpose. There is a desperate need for more creativity in the storytelling of Bloodline matches at this juncture though. The template is stale. #WWECrownJewel

A netizen not only points out the lack of creativity in the promotion but also points out the commentators for criticizing Logan Paul’s cheating while glorifying when Reigns pulls off the same antics.
It’s so fucking bizarre how both commentators just shit on Logan Paul winning a championship due to interference/cheating, but then continue to hype Roman Reigns up as the undisputed GOAT… even though Logan’s win was literally what Roman’s been doing for 1100 days.

Even though the megastar was close to becoming the Universal Champion of WWE, the promotion wanted to have it some other way. So, for now, we have yet to see where the road will take LA Knight.
