It's because of the hell in the cell match. WWE fans love legitimate feets of will and endurance. It's why all the ruthless aggression stars got over having ridiculous hardcore matches. It's why Roman couldn't get over as a face cause he was over protected and all his big moments were obviously faked, like getting "injured" during the royal rumble and fake limping his way back to the ring to win it without having to endure anything.
