I thought night 1 was better but it was cool to see Joe Henry. I knew he wasn’t beating Orton. I respect Cena but was never a big fan of his after ruthless aggression era. 80s through ruthless aggression is my favorite time and I guess I’m old and prefer the guys I grew up with but still watch wrestling. I’m curious to see what Cena does now. Was surprised to see Io Sky retain and I imagine Bayley will probably turn heel. Double swerve with Heyman on night one was great. Should’ve been Rock interfering instead of that rapper I don’t know

Kayfabe.
Paul Heyman is heel, and playing it up. This will be all over the news, and will generate interest for people tuning into Raw to see what happens next.
Used to be a popular thing to do back in the day [Edit: Also just checked the comments, and they're spot-on about how in the 80s and 90s there used to be a lot of cross-political kayfabe to generate heat based on real life events.]
If it's generating a negative reaction, and they're a heel, then it's good for business (or at least, that's how the wrestling industry used to work in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s).
