WWE brought a big show to the USA Network after Backlash. RAW was a newsworthy episode, but the crowd in Jacksonville needed a bit of help to achieve the response WWE really wanted.

Sean Sapp noted behind Fightful’s paywall that WWE piped in a crowd reaction for Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes’ segment on RAW this week. Although they made the crowd louder than they actually were, it was also noted that WWE didn’t really need to do that.
WWE heavily piped in audio during the Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes segment. Several within WWE echoed the online reaction saying it wasn’t needed.
WWE already considered their RAW in Jacksonville a “no-win” situation. After all, fans in Florida didn’t give them anywhere near the reaction that they received in Puerto Rico. That being said, the crowd needed a bit of help this week.
This is not the first time that WWE has sweetened the crowd after a bad reaction. Hopefully, WWE doesn’t have to resort to this very often, but they went ahead and did it this week.
