Whether it’s because they think he’s “unfairly” been pushed as a main eventer or just because they don’t like him as a performer, a lot of WWE fans are probably never going to come around on Roman Reigns, no matter what he does.
That being the case, best thing the Big Dog can do is learn to shut them all the way down on occassion.
Which is exactly what he did to this dude.
First, guy (not to be confused with THE Guy) jumps in when he sees Romey is online and responding to some Tweets, letting him know that in his learned opinion, Reigns is not as good as SmackDown’s AJ Styles:
@WWERomanReigns When you gonna be as phenomenal as @AJStylesOrg ?

The United States champ laughes that off and encourages him to check the times he went over AJ on the company’s streaming service (for just $9.99!):
Lol Pretty sure i beat him not once but twice.✌ ️You can watch it back on the #WWENetwork . #TheGuy #AhhhhYessir https://t.co/dQRVihbtXA

Undetered - and noticing that the Roman Empire is quick to jump to the Big Dog’s defense on social media - dude swings back with what he clearly thinks is a clever observation about how arenas respond to him... and throws in a hashtag jab at his suspension from the Summer, too:
Sorry @WWERomanReigns didn't realise you Was over so much on Twitter, Where are all these people at the Live events? #WellnessPolicy
— The Ian Weaver (@FightRockyFight) November 16, 2016
And that’s when Reigns hits him with the Twitter version of a Drive-By, and a Superman Punch, and a Spear...
Stop tweeting at work and earn some money. Then you'll be able to attend a live event and experience it yourself. #GoodLuck https://t.co/oD4fFwFPlN

Oddly enough, dude didn’t respond to that one.
He also took care of somebody complaining about how he holds the belt, of all things, but that wasn’t as impressive to me as this exchange. You can find it here.
