WWE fans worldwide are enraged over Sunday night’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view, specifically Roman Reigns standing tall when all was said and done.
The live crowd gave Reigns a thunderous rejection even before the match was over in a scene that rivaled last year’s Batista Rumble incident. The backlash is continuing online, with WWE fans canceling their WWE Network subscriptions en masse.
#CancelWWENetwork was the #1 worldwide trend on Twitter for a good period of time late Sunday evening and into Monday morning.
Think Michael Cole will let us know tomorrow that #CancelWWENetwork is trending worldwide? #RoyalRumble

Many fans were tweeting screenshots of the cancellation page after they dumped the Network, with others saying the cancellation page crashed at one point. A poll on WWE’s Facebook page (vote here) with over 23,000 votes had 75% of fans giving the show Thumbs Down.
