Was this Paul Heyman speaking or Vince?

Paul said, “That’s what we do here in WWE - we put smiles on the faces of neanderthals!” in that backstage promo with Kayla Braxton. Hmm. It's hardly uncommon for a heel character to slag off the fans, but there seemed to be something more to this.

It could be McMahon's way of suggesting that he'll play ball with the stupidity of fans and push one of their favourites (Cesaro) for now. Either that or this writer just looks into things way too much. Ahem.
