If you caught it a couple of days ago, we did come up with a post regarding the controversial ending to Wrestlemania 31. In what was initially believed to be Roman Reigns shining moment turned into something different, seeing Reigns eventually pinned by Seth Rollins who inadvertently cashed in his Money in the Bank contract.
Seeing that both Reigns and Brock Lesnar were decimated from their brutal exchanges, Rollins took the opportunity to cash in and it paid off. After a curb stomp on Roman Reigns, Rollins pinned his former Shield comrade and exited with the WWE Heavyweight belt.
Do recall that the WWE's original plans was for Reigns to win it all at Wrestlemania. This was after Reigns won the Royal Rumble paired with the uncertainty regarding Brock Lesnar's status with the WWE.
But the initial problem was the WWE Universe were not quite fine with Reigns lording it over the WWE heavyweight division and hence, damage control had to be done. The WWE tried to work was around Reigns but apparently all that became unnecessary with Lesnar re-signing.
And from one source came that the Anoa'i family was pretty upset with the outcome, particularly Sika. Sika was reportedly so upset that he was all set to start a war with the WWE. However all that died down eventually when Sika was talked out of it.
But did Sika really get angry?
WWE producer Michael Hayes said that there is no truth to the matter and that Sika was very proud of Roman and was pretty much impressed overall with Wrestlemania 31.
SOO much BS on line. I talked with Sika Monday morning, he was very proud of his son and blown away by WM, as was I, props to Taker!!!

He will become the face of the company someday, but that time is not now.
For Reigns, it doesn't seem to disturb him at all. He knew that he was that close but with the lurking Rollins whose entry was pretty much legal, maybe Reigns was pretty much understanding of the angle at this point.
The WWE Universe at the moment is not 100% supportive to Roman Reigns. But like most stars, that is expected to change soon. Roman needs to work more on his image and publicity appearances, something that is expected to be the case as he and the WWE move along.
