With Reigns against Styles and the rest of the IWC, WWE are going to get the best of both worlds. They've now got a #1 heel for one section of the audience, and a #1 babyface to everyone else. It is a dual role that Reigns can play, thus stabilising his championship run.

The narrative direction is a solution to the boos. It has solved the problem. By actively encouraging and embracing the hate, they've now got the audience acting exactly how they want.

But while the IWC will be boisterously backing Styles, Reigns will still be the man in the mainstream. His Roman Empire is established and he's going to continue to be their hero. He'll be the guy representing the company and holding the championship for the foreseeable future.

WWE really have the best of both worlds with Roman Reigns, and it is going to be a lot of fun witnessing how the next few months unfold.
