10 Things We Learned From Attending WWE Raw After WrestleMania Live

3. Trolling Goes Two Ways

Last night's Raw fell apart towards the end of the night. Beachballs emerged in the crowd, prompting Cesaro to rush out of the ring and tear them up on two separate occasions, though 'The Swiss Superman' couldn't stop more from emerging. The chants turned poisonous and foul-mouthed, we got protest calls of "CM Punk" and even "AEW," and the whole atmosphere soured.

Was it perversely entertaining? Sure, but the show would've been more enjoyable had it not happened.

WWE are the ones to blame for the Brooklyn crowd going into business for itself during the tag main event. They should have known better. This has been one of their sharper, hotter crowds for years now, and the writers know that they won't just fall in line with whatever they're fed. They must have understood that The Bar ruining Kofi Kingston vs. Seth Rollins was going to generate a response like this. If they didn't, Vince McMahon is even more out-of-touch than his biggest critics claim.

WWE cannot troll their audience and expect to get away without being trolled back - particularly this audience.
