The funny thing is I don't think that they want to go back to Cena because HHH is a huge Flair guy and wants him to keep the most reigns record. Can't say the bad booking is all on Vince either I've said it's very telling that Triple H is in more important matches then the "guy" at mania every year recently save for the years Rock told Vince who he'd come back to face.

They were in Pittsburgh, R-Truth. Meh, all of Pennsylvania looks the same to me. *shakes head disapprovingly*

Nobody cares enough to boo anymore; they already showed that they're staying their course this year, and by booing you just leave the door open for them to turn him heel/play up how "controversial" he is. But they can't spin apathy.

But they can't spin apathy. Sure they can - Reigns is just so amazingly strong and talented and sexy and awesome that people are left speechless.

I said a while back that Lesner/Reigns would be dumped in the mid card and it looks even more certain now.

I don't think it will just because they've so utterly refused to concede on anything at all to this point, plus Triple H / Sting doesn't seem like it's terribly cut out to close the show either. Shit, honestly they should just end it on Cena / Rusev at this point. Weren't they supposedly going to close with Cena / Bray last year until the Bryan stuff happened?

I really enjoyed their match at Fast Lane and the fued has way more heat to it.

The crowd just was really disinterested in reigns. They really think highly of rollins and Orton but they were sleepy. And they cheered the spear bc they were glad the match was over.

Swerve guys. Baron Corbin is the next guy. I'm still betting on Big Cass being the next NXT call up to get an unwarranted monster push.

Actually, that's the element that makes the apathy toward him so much better. This isn't like Batista last year where you just had to buy him as a face; Reigns is being sold on how cool and badass he is with his power moves and shit, and if audiences continue being really unimpressed by every accolade and spear he hits, it makes this all really, really sad.

Also I wish Cherry had been the one who the phrase was coined after. Who wouldn't want to get the Cherry pop?

Guy on reddit went to Raw tonight. The same Reddit which had a guy said Reigns failed wellness? the above might be true after all but its a bit exaggerated as any Reigns article thread there

It's sad. He was over before his injury. I like him. But the confused booking after his return, the old fairy tale promos and now this awkward Mania build up looks like torpedoing him forever.

I wonder if I watch it back....everyone stood up when his music hit, but there was no noise....and if I watch it again I swear I can hear the sound of everyone standing up at once.

There are numerous reports found throughout the internet of people leaving prior and during the main event. And Cena came out after the main event for his dark match with Wyatt and commented on people leaving. This is pretty bad.

Honestly, if the fans don't want Reigns to be the guy, then giving him no reaction is the best way to go. Cena was rejected but he was getting some type of reaction and that was good enough for the WWE. If Reigns is coming out to crickets, then he better be moving merchandise at CM Punk 2011 levels, otherwise they won't keep the force-feeding push going.
I feel bad for Reigns and Lesnar. They could have easily had Bryan win the Rumble to face Lesnar and Reigns end Rusev's undefeated streak at WM, which could have simultaneously saved the main event from being crapped on and saved Reigns from being met with apathy.
