"Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio this booking was done in a way to keep the Brooklyn crowd from crapping on the match because they knew Strowman was coming in next. Therefore, nobody chanted “we want Strowman” during the match.
After the match was over, Kevin Dunn hit exit quickly as soon as Roman won and they got out of the broadcast quickly before the Barclays Center fans figured out they weren’t getting a cash-in. Plenty of fans in Brooklyn and at home were left very upset about Roman Reigns becoming the Universal Champion, but the show was over before they could realize they’d been bait and switched and most importantly they let it happen right in front of them.
Also, Vince McMahon apparently made a mid-match call in the main event match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman at Sunday’s SummerSlam event.
Joe Peisich from Barnburner’s Fired Up podcast mentioned that the match was originally planned to go much longer but Vince made the call to end the match early in fear that fans may start booing Roman again.
“I have heard that Vince McMahon change the script middle of the match. That wasn’t the supposed ending. He cut it off because he thought this is the way people were not totally really really 100 percent booing Roman Reigns, so he said cut it off now.”
“I was told the event itself was supposed to go until 11:28 and it finished off at 11:05. They cut it off 20 minutes earlier than was expected.”"
--------------------
Vince is REALLY trying his best to manipulate things into convincing the viewing audience at home that Roman isn't just getting shat on. However those "You Still Suck" chants opening RAW sure were a reminder of how people truly feel.
