Yea Brian... so? Of course there is a pop. Hell, I don't even think there'd be that much of a problem at Mania during Rock/Reigns when it comes to the reactions from the audience. Doesn't make it less of a shit decision that, once again, hurts the Main Event scene of the company and leaves a stain on the potential next face of the company for the time after Reigns... Vince is gone, but it's the same poor decision making and not getting it that we've seen so much of over the last 15-20 years in the WWE.
