This was a simple fix and they could have had the exact same match. Just have Reigns be the guy Randy first talks to backstage because he's obvious, and have Ryback as the surprise teammate.

Reigns would have gotten booed by this crowd regardless. The Ultra-Smark crowds won't give him a chance anyway so no use trying to pander to them on that.
Best thing would have had anyone besides Kane/Big Show in the main event. They simply aren't credible threats anymore.

Oh I'm not saying Reigns wouldn't have gotten booed. But there was no need to build up the mystery and just troll the crowd like that. Reigns would have gotten booed, but THEN they would have popped for Ryback coming out last and been fine until Reigns tagged in halfway through the match.

Reigns would have gotten booed, but THEN they would have popped for Ryback coming out last and been fine until Reigns tagged in halfway through the match. I can see that being a good plan. Personally, knowing the nature of the post-mania Raw crowd, I would have had Roman do a pre-taped interview selling his injuries (shown to the viewers at home without crowd noise) and not appear live until Smackdown. |

I'd say the smart fix would've been either just have a segment with Reigns and Orton both trying to kill Rollins instead of doing a tag match at all (love the Big Guy but Ryback could've been left off the show easily enough), or do the match midway through the show in some altered form and put either Cena / Ambrose or the Lesnar segment on last.

Would have been smarted to leave Reigns off the show than to leave Ryback off. But Reigns is such damaged goods to the point where his very existence = "WWE's Attempt at Manipulation" in everyone's minds. He might just bring down the entire company if they don't fire him, that's how much he (not as a character, but as a flesh-and-blood human being) pisses people off. |

There was really no trolling done. It was obvious who the partner was.

I don't get why the Lesnar segment was so early. It made it incredibly obvious that there was going to be some shenanigans with no match happening, ruined the flow of the show from a TV viewer's perspective because they tried to turn Byron Saxton into Joey Styles circa 1995, and led to the main event of the biggest TV show they put on every year being a match that could have been on any other Raw. But Reigns got the pin, so he's gotta look good for the casuals even though the entire building was booing him. |

I'll tell you how you fix the main event, have Lesnar come through the crowd and take out Show, Kane, and Rollins to close the show.

Easy fix: just don't involve the Local Men.

I'm actually a bit surprised that people are still hardcore booing Reigns considering he ate the pin at Wrestlemania. I figured that would ease up some of the hate. That and his performance in that match was actually enjoyable.

Honestly, with all the rumors of guys like Finn Balor and Charlotte debuting, a mystery partner angle with the most predictable result is completely asinine. Just tell us Reigns and Ryback are the partners and move on.
