When you book Roman like a wrecking ball badass and stopped him talking, he'll get the reactions WWE want because that's what most of us liked about him in the first place. Chicago - which is typically a town that doesn't have many casuals attend their shows, they were even behind Roman whooping Joe's ass.
I don't get the few people saying this made Joe look bad - sometimes the heel has to take a whooping and get his just desserts.

Crowd was legit into Roman beating Joe's ass with the stairs. They seem to like him when he's just wrecking dudes (like when he destroyed the Miztourage before his IC Title match with Miz). If only he could've destroyed Jason Jordan like that. Yea, this is something that's been said for years When Roman starts getting angry and wrecking shit the crowd loves it like what he did to Miztourage and that time against HHH which lead to HHH being missing until the Rumble

I think the audience likes when a face gets to have teeth. That, and if you have genuine motivation like revenge here, it works.

Eh, I dug it. He was pissed his friend, his constant kayfabe friend of 5 years btw, got taken out for a long ass time by some big asshole. Roman was in the right.

Roman gets pops when you make him a silent killer. He didn't need to talk, he just beat the shit out of someone who wronged the people he cared about.

Yea, Roman when allowed to just f*** shit up is an animal and obviously that works for his character Yea, this is something that's been said for years When Roman starts getting angry and wrecking shit the crowd loves it like what he did to Miztourage and that time against HHH which lead to HHH being missing until the Rumble I honestly thought Roman smiling while he was being beat up by Brock at WrestleMania was a really f***ing cool moment too. Yea, I liked it as well because it's not something everyone did to Brock. Brock slapped the taste out of his mouth after that Yea, this is something that's been said for years When Roman starts getting angry and wrecking shit the crowd loves it like what he did to Miztourage and that time against HHH which lead to HHH being missing until the Rumble Exactly what I thought. Roman gets pops when you make him a silent killer. He didn't need to talk, he just beat the shit out of someone who wronged the people he cared about. Yea, there is something to be said as far as a "coolness" factor to Reigns when he's who he should be. I guess whenever he gets his future heel turn and allowed to control the match, the aggressive side will be out more and play better to the crowd tho there's nothing wrong with letting wreck shit now as a face

Same concept at play in the UK title match 2 NXTs ago when Tyler Bate finally got fed up with Dunne's masterheel combo of joint-manipulation and then escaping to a rope break whenever Bate started getting in any offense. The crowd woke up and Bate/Dunne fed off that energy and kept giving the crowd more and more emotion, pretty soon the match ended up going 20 minutes into OT and they could a fought forever as far as the crowd was concerned. I like how they are playing to Romans strengths. Keeping him in the midcard with the IC title (away from main event and the clear negativity he elicits there) and linking him with The Shield again, when he was at his most over as a babyface. Punking out Saaaaaamoa Joe is kinda a throwback to Roman's megapush though so I'm glad he lost via DQ and allows Joe to win bragging rights with a victory, and somehow also gives him the moral high ground since Roman cheated. Joe is in the drivers seat for this feud and like the Brock feud that's a good spot for Joe.
