WWE fans are still livid after Sunday's
Royal Rumble pay-per-view show.
People in attendance booed mercilessly as
Roman Reigns won the event and a spot in
the WrestleMania main event match on
March 29 against Brock Lesnar, despite
the appearance of The Rock, who came
out and helped Reigns fend off some
heels.
Most of the WWE universe wanted the
immensely popular Daniel Bryan to come
out victorious after he missed most of the
past year with a neck injury, but he was
eliminated fairly early in the match. This
surprised even some WWE superstars.
WHAT?? @WWEDanielBryan is out
already!!!??? He was one of my two
picks….. #WWERoyalRumble

However, that wasn't in the WWE's plans,
so fans began to cancel their WWE
Network subscriptions . As of this writing,
#CancelWWENetwork was still trending on
Twitter.
In a pretty surprising turn of events
Monday morning, the company's biggest
star, John Cena, appeared to acknowledge
the fans' unhappiness via Twitter.
Sometimes we hit, sometimes we
miss, all you can do is do all you can

It's highly unusual that a wrestler would
respond about a weak event to unhappy
fans. There are a lot of ways this tweet
can be interpreted. Was Cena's tweet a
shot at the WWE creative team for their
terrible booking? Was it an indirect shot at
Roman Reigns, who doesn't seem to be
ready for the big time? Or was Cena just
trying to be a fan-friendly guy?
No matter the answer, it's clear that the
WWE knows their paying customers are
angry. Will this cause a change?
