In my head, knowing the crowd response will be negative to a possibly epic degree, this match is the perfect opportunity to pull the trigger on a Reigns heel turn. Rile up the crowd even more by putting the match on last. It's the usual formula that everyone hates: Reigns gets his ass kicked for a while, makes a comeback, spams special moves. Difference is this time, have little moments over the course of the match where it seems the crowd response is finally getting to him. Start subtle, but by the end he's visibly close to the breaking point. Reigns wins to a chorus of boos. He poses a bit, then slowly lowers his arms, looking around at the crowd. By this point the fans have latched onto the fact that their hate is visibly affecting him. They smell blood, they boo louder. Reigns snaps. He rushes out of the ring. There are three or four plants in the front row, local workers dressed up as fans, jeering along with the rest. Reigns drags them over the barricade and beats the ever-loving piss out of them. Commentary doesn't know how to respond. One of the "fans" gets flung over the desk. Security tries to intervene and Reigns destroys them too. Even Jinder is all "dude, chill" and tries to hold him back, but he's swiftly added to the pile of bodies. With no audio but the crowd noise, the show closes on the maniacal, wild-eyed expression of the man who just became wrestling's hottest heel. This isn't going to happen, but it's fun to think about. The commentators shouting about how those fans had it coming, and poor Ramona has finally hit his breaking point.

I'm going to a houseshow in Peoria two days before Money in the Bank and Jinder vs Roman is OUR main event so... probably I don’t go to house shows anymore because I don’t want to see a Roman main event ever. I have no interest in going to Raw, either. And Smackdown is kind of it’s own special mess these days. I miss the days of going to live shows (and wanting to be at them)! The other advertised match has Seth in it, so that was my main motivation for going. We usually get Smackdown events in my area so I haven't actually seen Seth since 2015-ish.

And it will main event over AJ/Nakamura. I figure one of two things is happening with that - either Money in the Bank headlines or AJ / Nakamura does, and it'll only do so if it's for someone to cash in afterward.

They will boo both of them, pop slightly for Jinder sometimes and pop when it's over because it's over.

I'm all for this continuing social experiment. Next up I'd like Roman vs Ziggler.

Boy if you all thought Batista vs Del Rio and Batista vs The Big Show for the title when ECW first got revived got a terrible crowd reaction... this might take every cake in the book.

If they top the ECW crowd, I'd be very impressed They could. If they do the classics like Punk, Boring, You Both Suck, Wave & Beachball. Plus add All In/Bullet Club, maybe NEW JAPAN! and change, change the channel to CHANGE TO NETFLIX!

What’s going to be great is when that crowd starts being cute & Mahal puts on a chinlock for 20 minutes. Just send them out there for 5 minutes or less, let Roman hit his spots and forget about it.

Oh the ultra rare and legendary "YOU BOTH SUCK" chants, I think I only heard it once during Batista against Big Show.

I see about a 10% chance for Jinder to get half-hearted crowd support, 0% chance of Reigns getting crowd support and about a 90% chance of the crowd taking a collective dump on the match and going off the rails to keep themselves entertained. Basically this is Beach Ball's time to shine brother Let's Go Beach Ball!

still wondering how they book this.
Roman's like one match is he gets his ass kicked for 20 minutes, then superman punch spear... big dawg...
Jinder's one match is gets his his ass kicked for 20 minutes then the Singh Brother (s) interfere he hits his finisher and wins.

Jinder's one match is gets his his ass kicked for 20 minutes then the Singh Brother (s) interfere he hits his finisher and wins. My guess is something like... - Reigns takes early control. Corner forearms, that weird stunted clothesline of his, all that. - Jinder takes over, puts on a chinlock for forever. - Reigns breaks out of that. Superman punch spam, Sunil distracts him, Khallas. - Reigns kicks out, Jinder acts all stunned. - Typical Reigns comeback sequence. - Superman punch on Sunil, something or other ends up taking the referee out. - Whoever Roman's facing at SummerSlam interferes, Jinder wins. Yeah, I'm picking Jinder in this one. It reeks of being like that shitty Roman / Bray feud from after Mania 31 plus they seem really, really desperate to push this, "Roman's being held back!" narrative.

Right, they're hoping the fanbase goes "poor Roman for being stuck with Jinder". Problem is what's going to happen is "f*** them both" or "well f*** it, I got Jinder on this one".

Man, a double turn would be just delightful.
But here’s a question.
Let’s say it ends up being a good match, not a five star classic, but a solid 4 1/4*
Would it even matter?

Oh yeah, it's gonna happen. And nothing is going to stop me from believing it'll be the main event. Again.
Vince is gonna double and triple down on this idiocy now.
