30-man Rumble Match winner Roman Reigns was booed heavily at the Royal Rumble as he went on to win from the 19th draw, but just getting a reaction from the crowd is fine with him.
Update on Brock Lesnar Possibly Returning To The Octagon
Reigns spoke with Sam Roberts on his podcast and talked about getting a lot of love and hate from different people and being okay with it.
"I see all my criticism. I'm in a position now where I get a ton of love, which is great, and a ton of criticism, which is great," Reigns told Roberts. "As long as people are talking about me, that's all that matters to me. The people who are critiquing and bashing me, they're making me more relevant. I would think if you didn't want me around, just don't talk about me. But, they make it even more overwhelming. Noise is noise. That's the thing."

He continued: "I'm all about being opinionated and speaking up for what you like, which is what we have now with social media. I don't believe in like CM Punk 'I'm the voice of the voiceless.' That's crap. People are talking and being heard all over the world. You put something on the Internet and people will read it - whether you're a famous celebrity or Joe Schmo. I read all these stuff, but people have to consider that I'm not writing or don't go out there and create the whole show. I'm a performer. I go out there and perform to the best of my abilities."
Despite the WWE Universe being behind stars such as Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler, the WWE is pushing Reigns into the main event of WrestleMania 31 against Brock Lesnar.
Reigns discussed the WWE being behind him as he prepares to wrestle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in California.
"It's one of those situations where obviously the company does what the company does and the fans do what they do," he said. "And that's what's so great. So, the fans have to realize as opinionated as you want it, the company is the same way. The company is going to do what they want to do, fans are going to do what they want to do, and hopefully at the end of the day I'm just the guy getting rich."
Lastly, Reigns discussed his critics and the legacy he wants to leave behind in his career.
"The majority of critics are people who have no clue what they're talking about, been in a wrestling ring, been a public speaker, and wouldn't even lock up with me. They would have no clue what to do. So, for them to critique or ever say anything about any performer is asinine and just blows my mind."
He added: "My goal is hopefully make everyone happy and be satisfied with the product that I've created. People don't realize is I created a product - a Superman punch - and taken a spear and made it my own. There's a lot of things that I've done that I've created, so there's a lot of opinions that I have that I'm not going to budge on."
