In fact, Rollins didn't even think he'd have to work hard to get booed.

Seth told Austin that he's been shocked by how "excited to see" him WWE crowds have been. He thought for certain that he'd be booed out of the building when live audiences returned, but that hasn't been the case at all - if anything, they've been more positive than he predicted.

The sharp suit-wearing villain hears a lot more cheers than boos when he strolls out onto the stage. That's something WWE must f*ck around with, 'cause their audio mix defo sounds more scathing than cheerful when watching on TV. It's interesting that Rollins defied that weekly presentation with his comments here.

Another thing: Seth thinks this over-the-top character has "legs for the future". He can see it turning face and becoming something fans dig in the long run. Hell, a lot of them already do and he's not even trying to be likeable. If anything, he's working overtime to be an annoying d*ckhead.
