Yeah, that Rolling Loud crowd wasn't...loud for WWE action. In fact, they hardly stirred at all when Wale tried geeing them up, The Street Profits came out or Bianca Belair strutted her stuff. Seeing Belair, in particular, dance awkwardly in front of a disinterested festival audience was embarrassing.

WWE's cameras tried panning over the masses to complement their piped-in noise too, but that didn't work out well. Seeing the static/bored/tired thousands yawn their way through each match as forced cheering layered over the mix was cringeworthy.
