Even as the biggest name of night two of WrestleMania 42, Roman Reigns drew criticism from fans after mentioning WWE‘s parent company, TKO Group Holdings, during the event’s Post-Show.
The new World Heavyweight Champion closed out WWE‘s panel after the Showcase of Immortals and commented on his contract renewal with the company. At one point, however, Reigns said that “WWE, TKO, and Endeavor” had finally signed the check.
The mere mention of TKO sparked an immediate and loud reaction from the crowd. At first, Reigns did not understand what the audience was chanting, but when he realized it, he mocked them and called the fans a “bipolar bunch”.
The truth is that the boos reflect the dissatisfaction of a large portion of WWE fans with the current management.
In recent months, TKO has been criticized for the increase in ticket prices, the excessive advertising during broadcasts, and even direct corporate involvement in storylines.
