ROMAN REIGNS insists he isn’t worried about any negative crowd reactions at SummerSlam ahead of his Universal Championship Match against Brock Lesnar.

WWE have been trying to establish Reigns as the face of the company since 2015 but the fans keep booing him even though he wrestles as a babyface (good guy).
The Big Dog, just like John Cena, is one of the most polarising figures in WWE history but he doesn’t mind the jeers at all and instead claims he thrives in them.
The three-time world champion tweeted: “Whenever I'm in the ring, I hear the noise. It doesn't shake me. It doesn't anger me. I don't run from the noise. I thrive in it. I hope Brooklyn's ready to get loud because I'm ready to give them a show. And take the #UniversalTitle. #SummerSlam.”
Reigns failed to win the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34 following an intense battle with Lesnar who hit him with a whopping six F5s.

It doesn’t shake me.
It doesn’t anger me.
I don’t run from the noise. I thrive in it. I hope Brooklyn’s ready to get loud because I’m ready to give them a show.
And take the #UniversalTitle. #SummerSlam
I don't run from the noise. I thrive in it
The ex-WWE Champion also lost a controversial Steel Cage Match to the Beast at the Greatest Royal Rumble three months ago in Saudi Arabia.
The former Shield star speared the Universal Champion through the cage but wasn’t awarded the belt even though his feet touched the floor first.
Reigns earned the opportunity to challenge for RAW’s premier title at SummerSlam after beating Bobby Lashley in a No1 Contender’s Match two weeks ago on RAW.
Last week he stated that he has no respect for Lesnar and said he will send him back to UFC as a broken man with his tail tucked between his legs.
The Conqueror has been linked with a big title match at UFC with UFC Heavyweight Champion and UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier.
