Styles addresses the Roman Reigns Hate Bandwagon.

The Roman Reigns hate train has been rolling for the past several months in the WWE. Reigns receives a lot of boos from fans who dislike him being handpicked as the top guy in the company. We constantly hear stories of guys backstage of WWE who go to bat for Reigns and say he deserves his spot. AJ Styles knows Reigns pretty well after headlining two straight WWE PPV’s with him. He says that a lot of the hate for Reigns is unwarranted and fans are jumping on the Roman Reigns hate bandwagon.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Styles was asked if he thinks fans underestimate the talent of Roman Reigns:

“Absolutely. I think he’s a better athlete than a lot of people realize. He should get a lot more credit for his athleticism. He’s unbelievable, he can do a lot of stuff. I think he’s been able to showcase that with me. We’re doing something right – I don’t think people gave Roman a chance; in fact. I think a lot of fans jumped on the bandwagon when someone started booing, instead of taking the chance to see what he could do in the ring” (Source: Rolling Stone).

I said this when fans were chanting ‘You Can’t Wrestle” at Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules. You are allowed to dislike or hate anyone you want. I think to say that Reigns can’t wrestle (and I get a lot of these tweets) is a bit misguided since he has put on a number of 4* plus matches over the past year (according to Dave Meltzer). I get that he was wrestling talented guys but it takes two to tango!

Let us know what you think of AJ’s comments on Reigns and if you agree or disagree!
