Ohno is still there right? Same with Steamboat? Did a huge portion of the talent in NXT go missing? Ohno is in the middle of a face turn and Steamboat is out with a knee injury I believe. They rotate the guys and gals on the NXT tapings a lot since they do 4 shows a taping.

But how is booing any more or less mature than turning your back? There must be some kind of disconnect that I can't get around. as I said booing and cheering is expected and accepted. I guess there is a disconnect. When I visualize this in my head, the image that comes to mind is just like a child crossing their arms and turning their back on their parent when they're told to do something they don't want to. A sort of prelude to a tantrum. Ever heard of a protest? That's what this would be. Walking out would be them protesting the entirety of NXT, which isn't their intention. Sitting there and doing nothing happens every show. It's how they know fans aren't interested in what they're seeing. This isn't that. This is an outright protest. They're showing that they are against Bo Dallas and Bo Dallas alone. Literally turning your back is damn effective. Sting did it in WCW and it was the most memorable promo of his career. It's not immature in the least. They weren't chanting obscenities or throwing garbage. That's immature. They simply sent a message that they did not want this. It cannot be interpreted any other way. It cannot be manipulated via TV magic. It's a pretty clear-cut sign of disdain and it didn't disrupt the actual show. That seems pretty mature to me.

People are saying they're hoping this is leading to Wyatt winning the belt.
Well, considering Bo seems to be at least slowly turning heel, and given interactions they have...
Are we sure this couldn't possibly be leading to Adrian Neville winning the title?

I know they appear on NXT on a semi-regular basis, but why aren't Cesaro or Riley treated as "advertised attractions"? It's a small venue and they're over enough.
As much as I dislike the idea of Bo as NXT Champion, that finish sounds awesome.

So, with his first title feud looking like being Kruger, who has never worked face in FCW/NXT to my knowledge, it looks like the Dallas heel turn is either being put off for a little bit or was never really a thing to begin with.
Also... Bayley being a hybrid of the face AJ and Festus gimmicks could be interesting too. I wouldn't be surprised if that gets over huge, because NXT crowds love their quirky Diva gimmicks.
