No it has more to do with them booking him like Cena 2.0. Blame the creative team and Vince for not learning from their mistakes. He even gets Cena-like chants. That has nothing to do with Daniel Bryan.
It has everything to do with marks hating on him because of Daniel bryan.
Reigns was never booked as cena 2.0. He was being looked at as the top prospect of the company over Bryan.
Cena got the hate he garnered in the first place because of his constant winning during his title reign around 07 and the hot new wrestler of the time period always being jobbed out to Cena.
Marks are still hating on Reigns because he was the chosen one even tho he's proven time and time again that he deserves it.
The same marks that thought Rollins was gonna be the next jeff hardy once he turned face and the same marks who championed ambrose until he fell flat on his face as wwe champ. Marks love to point the finger at Vince and wwe, but never wanna admit when they're wrong.
A lot of these marks lack self awareness.
