I think the crowd is just going to rebel more and more. And muting their volume will push them to even more extremes. The fans want to pay for the
product. They want to like Roman Reigns even. Or at least, they aren't actively opposed to it in theory. The WWE is pushing a story they
don't like about him, though. And being pretty up front about not caring about the crowd's like or dislike of it, which infuriates the
crowd even more. So the booing will just get worse, furthering the circular effect of increasing enmity thing I mentioned earlier.
It would be so easy to fix, too. To do 10 seconds of fantasy booking:
(Roman comes out to boos.) "Yeah, I get it. You don't like me. That's fine. I don't like you either. I'm not forgetful
of your past opinion of me. Nor am I going to apologize for where I am today. It certainly wasn't because of any of you." He has tried
watered-down versions of it, but he just needs to be allowed to go full-on.
And there you go. That apathetic hatred becomes storyline-invested anger in seeing that 'asshole roman' get taken down. In a way, you
saw Seth Rollins give a variation of this very speech on RAW last night to tweak the crowd's response and personal investment.
TL;DR: The fans aren't ready to stop buying the product because of Roman Reigns. But they most certainly are going to shit all over that
aspect of the product in anger and spite out of feeling ignored.

I don't think you understand how TL;DR works.

They could have him take some pointers from both Kevin Owens and Charlotte because those two have been putting on a clinic lately on how to
simultaneously tell a crowd to fuck off and yet get them to like them even more for it. Kind of astounding really. Instead of doing what Austin, Rock,
Jericho, and others did so well with crowd management they choose to have Roman copy one of the most unlikable and audience-antagonizing aspects of
the era of Cena domination instead.
You are a bastard. A daughter-fucking wildling bastard.

Haha, I just saw that. It was supposed to be the final thought, then I edited to add stuff. I'm gonna edit it again now, just because I feel
dumb.

* Usos getting tangentially booed.� And kudos on the announcers for acknowledging it.
* The Ewe Knighted States Championship is on the line.
* Rusev with a proper win.� Hopefully the Dragons can get back into the tag title picture.
* Mick & Shane?� Awesome.
* Fine tag title match as New Day out-cheats Vaudevillains.
* Nice stat about KO being first to wrestle every PPV his rookie year.
* Memo to every WWE announcer.� Not every head-scissors takeover is a 'rana.
* Miz has every right to be upset.� Slow count there by the ref after the SCF.
* That Sunset Powerbomb by Zayn was awesome.
* Couldn't pick up that mild chant but it sounded something like they wanted the match to go on forever.
* Least likely man to win, but it happened the way it had to for Miz to do it.
* We all know this match won't end 'til the Son Of Mitch gets involved, right?
* In PG WWE, those thumbtacks will not be landed on directly.
* OW!!!!� OK, I was wrong.� Bold move, WWE.
* And no Son Of Mitch.� Just a mean Son Of A Bitch walking out as your winner.� If that's how Y2J leaves this time, a vacation well-earned.
* Would be nice if our Stellar Commentary Team knew either of the first two submission moves used in this submission match.
* Again... WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE SUBMISSION BEING USED, YOU TARDS!!!!
* Charlotte still your evil heel champion.
* Thought that was going to be Charles Robinson and not Dana Brooke. I guess they want Dana to feud with Nattie to see if she can cut it on the big
stage.
* Like that high knee from Reigns.
* HA! The You Still Suck chant after the table explosion made me laugh.
* Whoa. Crucifix Sit-Out Powerbomb. Sorry, Newark. The You Still Suck chant does not apply on that one.
* AJ Styles applying for Dolph Ziggler bump status. Holy crap.
* That spear leap over the steps was a cool visual.
* Didn't think we would get a better match the IC 4-way, but we did. MOTY candidate and Roman's best match.
* Hey! Seth is back!
* Quality PPV. Not much to complain about here and two of WWE's best matches this year. Bravo, Monkeys.
I do NOT love RKO, you sarcastic bastards.
