WWE star Finn Balor spoke with Sky Sports WWE ahead of his match against Baron Corbin at SummerSlam tonight, and below is what Balor had to say when asked about the fan hate directed towards Roman Reigns:

“I don’t get it,” he told Sky Sports. “He’s probably one of the hardest working people in WWE, he looks great, he’s professional, a great talker and behind everything, a great person.

“He’s great behind the scenes, he will help you with anything you want and he’s always polite. He was great to me when I first came into WWE and he continues to help me today.

“I can’t speak of anything but greatness for Roman Reigns, he’s one of the all-time greats.”

As for why Reigns gets the hate from fans, Balor chalked it up to bandwagon type fan behavior:

“I think it’s monkey do as monkey see and people are easily led,” he said. “They might read what one person has written in a newsletter, decide that person’s right, and then jump on the bandwagon.

ROMAN REIGNS A TRUE GREAT?@FinnBalor believes @WWERomanReigns is one of the ‘true greats’ and feels he doesn’t deserve the fans’ criticism.
