It's no different than that. He has nothing to be upset about because he should've expected it and had his own friends ready to deal with it (in kayfabe ofc because we all know why they didn't in reality). He just looks like a schmuck and then he's going to have 10-20 minute story time on RAW later tonight killing any momentum he may have.
The worst thing Hogan did was pulling Sid out of the Royal Rumble for no good reason. That was incredibly heelish and made no sense.
Roman kinda got screwed last night even though it was within the rules of that match. I like him going off on everyone and don't think it makes him a heel. True, it would have been better if HHH/Authority had actually done something heelish in the last 6 months.
As far as Austin/Rock being screwed. The best Raw I've ever gone to in person was the first night Austin stunned McMahon. There was no good reason for it as Vince was months off from turning heel, but the crowd went nuts. Austin would stun people and attack them (heels or faces) at the drop of a hat. He used to stun Foley all the time when they were tag partners.
There's a difference between how Reigns acted last night and how Charlotte acted. One's actions are easily construed as heel-like. The other was just pissed off.
