    When wwe fans turn on you you got two options.
    1. You can do what anyone else would do. Turn heel. Not all heels are cheered for. At that point the boos are the entire point. That's what most companies/superstars tend to do when a face starts being hated by the fans.
    2. Pull a john cena and play into it. Of you got a 50/50 split in likability like he did then you can try and play into both side.
