NXT superstar Kona Reeves has been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism from sections of WWE fans and one such instance seems to have tipped the upcoming star over the edge.

Prior to an NXT live event in San Diego (the latest in a string of live events in a push for TakeOver: Brooklyn IV), the official NXT Instagram page posted a photo of Reeves drinking coffee, because nothing says ‘riveting photo’ more than a man drinking coffee. Fans in the comments of this photo lambasted the wrestler, including but not limited to disparaging comments related to his gimmick, his moveset, and how WWE as a whole don’t listen to their fans due to the overwhelming negativity towards him.

Noticing these comments, Reeves decided to fire back in classic heel fashion. He left his own comment on the post.

“All these #DirtBags on this comment thread are just jealous of me because I’m living my Dreams. while they are working their 9-5 common life!! They live life to the fullest? Well, I Live Life To #THEFINEST.”

Grammatical errors aside, I’m not sure saying that other people live life to the fullest is exactly an insult, but he tried at least. Hopefully, this will insight more heat for him and he pursues success as a heel in NXT.

Reeves is due to face EC3 next week on NXT television and went on to lose against Kassius Ohno at the aforementioned live event. It must have been the lackluster coffee that did it.
