I thought this was worth sharing because it makes valid points if you are serious about protesting against his push.
The article highlights each point below so if you care to read why you want to do these things, click the link.
I think it is painfully obvious why you would though.

Don’t walk out, just stay home
Don't Boo Roman Reigns, just remain silent
Don't Buy Roman Reigns' Merchandise
Cancel the WWE Network


A Step-By-Step Guide To Protesting Roman Reigns And 2018 WWE Live Events

Don’t walk out, just stay home - Don't give them money for a product you are not happy with.
Don't Boo Roman Reigns, just remain silent - No reaction is the worst reaction.
Don't Buy Roman Reigns' Merchandise - Don't give them money for a product you are not happy with.
Cancel the WWE Network - Don't give them money for a product you are not happy with.

I would also add that you should change the channel or turn off the TV during his matches or segments. This will show a decline of interest from home viewers as well.

I am not bothered by this because I don't watch on a regular basis. I hardly watch at all anymore because it isn't just Roman's booking that is a problem, but that is just my opinion.

Well if people are buying Roman merch, clearly they're fans of his.. The fans won't stay home because there's other people on the show they want to see.. I agree with remaining silent. If you don't want to see Roman just keep quiet. If you're booing him you're just showing WWE you're invested in him one way or another.

There's more people on the show other than Roman so all i can agree on is remaining silent and changing the TV during his segments, If his push really pisses you off that much.

I'm fine with it for the most part, i just wish he wouldn't main-event every single PPV and WWE seem so desperate to get him over as a babyface.

That is the only thing that didn't make sense to me here. The people that don't like him won't buy his stuff to begin with. Also, canceling the network. I mean if you are unhappy overall, then absolutely cancel the the network but it would be stupid to do that just over one guy.

I know! Let's stage a sit-in! That'll teach 'em!

...

Wait a second...

Jokes aside, here's some things to consider:

  • Every ticket not purchased by a Reigns hater can simply be purchased by someone else. Assuming every Reigns hater declines to purchase a ticket, this will only stack arenas full of people who will cheer Reigns.
  • Reigns haters are more than likely not buying Reigns merch on a level that would make refusing to buy said merch a particularly big dent in WWE's wallet. Who even buys products depicting people they aren't a fan of in the first place?

Yeah in which case it is better to go to the show and just take a wee break or keep your gob shut when he is out there.

Well, I just had to delete my post because of this statement you made, lol, because I was going to explain in detail why that is dumb.

That's a very good point.

Really, the best way to protest him is to treat him like he is a jobber. Just don't give him any reaction from home, online, or at the shows. This is the only thing that will get Vince's attention. He will see that he is not generating anything and might actually give a crap. Like I said, I am not bothered by him either way as there are far more issues with the product outside of his push/booking that need to be fixed. The whole entire women's roster being a big one.

This is from Forbes. A lot of what is on there makes no sense when you look at the details. lol
Oh, I understand, but I was going to post why I feel like canceling over one person was just beyond stupid using personal examples, but you beat me to the punch, lol.

Well, then I guess I like punishing myself, lol. I mainly only use to watch 205 Live, NXT, Classic WWF/E, ECW, and WCW PPVs, and Nitro/Thunder, ECW TV Shows, and Classic Raw shows.
