The rivalry that is piping off of all cylinders in WWE right now is none other than Roman Reigns vs Sami Zayn. After weeks of anticipation, we finally got to see the two go at it against each other for the undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the Elimination Chamber 2023. On Raw and SmackDown, we saw everyone cheering up Zayn, and it looked it he could finally win the big one in his hometown.
Now, although he couldn’t pull off a victory, Reigns was determined to make his family involved in the match. Even with Reigns having the entire Montreal stadium against him, he didn’t hesitate to trash-talk Zayn’s wife as well.

The heat that Reigns got from Montreal is nothing like any of the recent heels. This kind of heel harkens back to the golden age of wrestling, where wrestlers used to do everything to make the crowd hate them. But Reigns might have gone a little too far with this one.
Fans loved the involvement of Sami Zayn’s wife in his battle against Roman Reigns
From his entrance to the match, Reigns got nothing but hate from the Montreal fans. But he didn’t stop to make them even madder than they already were. While beating Zayn outside of the ring, Reigns went near his family and talked to his wife. This did not go well with the live audience as well as the ones at home.
That has to be the most hateful thing Reigns has done yet.

With this, Reigns might have become the biggest heel to come out of WWE in a long time. While his WWE title reign was mostly heel-ish, this feud just took it to the next level. How will Reigns recover from this much heat ever in his entire career? Also, do you think it was important to bring in Zayn’s wife in his feud with Reigns?
