Reigns was actually very well received by hardcore/online/vocal fans during 2012-2014. The concensus was that he was undoubtedly the guy that was gonna take the Cena role. But during that time you also had the rise of Daniel Bryan (which was a shytshow of missmanagement by the E') and other indy guys like Mox or Rollins that were perceived as "more deserving" of the top spot than Reigns at that time.Roman reaching if that's his reasoning. Smark crowd booed Cena for years, why would they cheer his clone?
The more vocal fans were basically asking WWE to wait 1-2 years before giving Reigns the Cena push so they could have their fun with their favorites and enjoy Roman grow as a performer. Instead, Vince accelerated the push, destroyed Roman's character (by making him a dumb, corny babyface) and played into the hands of the people that were scared precisely of that outcome + not having a run for ther favorites.
So when Punk comes out and tells that story, fans went "YOU SEEE!! WWE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE BUT ROMAN, fukk THAT GUY "
