Roman Reigns may have the wherewithal to combat his detractors on Twitter, but his keyboard wit won't help him out at WrestleMania 32.
It's no secret: Not everyone in the WWE Universe subscribes to the Roman Empire. Fans have recognized the WWE's desperate attempts to get Reigns over as its next big star, and a lot of them -- the majority -- have revolted.
The former Shield member is constantly peppered with boos by the WWE Universe whenever he appears, despite the improvements he's made over the last year.
Regardless of how he performs or how is promos are, the stigma regarding Reigns' mega push will always be attached to him, and some fans will never get behind him.
One of those fans contacted him via Twitter on Thursday and even threatened to harm himself if Reigns defeats Triple H at WrestleMania 32 on April 3 at AT&T Stadium in Texas:
Reigns then lashed back at the fan and brought up their private life:
Reigns may have been armed with a response that time, but he won't be able to stop over 80,000 fans from booing him during the WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 32. The WWE could very well have a disaster on its hands come April 3.
The company has done a bad job at listening to what the fans want, and while they were able to course correct at the last two WrestleMania events, it doesn't seem like the same will happen in Texas. This time, it seems Reigns will have his crowning moment at the "Show of Shows," so the WWE better get ready to edit out a lot of boos.
In 2014, the WWE wanted to push Batista over Randy Orton in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship bout, but when fans completely turned against the plan, they eventually caved and threw Daniel Bryan into the match, giving him the title.
Last year, it seemed Reigns was destined to unseat Brock Lesnar as champion until Seth Rollins shocked the world and cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase in one of the best endings to a WrestleMania in history.
Both of those moments made for tremendous WrestleMania memories, but it seems the WWE isn't learning from them. Reigns may have countered one fan on Twitter, but he and the WWE will have no answer to the scorned WWE Universe at WrestleMania.
