With where Neville's head is positioned, that could be a different kind of reaction shot altogether. More to the point... we've always asked WWE to have long-term stories that actually matter. Giving Zayn/Owens the MizTV trope is a good sign that they're honestly trying to sell this. My only complaint is that this seems to be a last minute decision. Zayn should have been around from the night after the Rumble. He should've been around since he first came back from injury. It made no sense for Owens to brutalize him and then for him to come back and...do other things.

One of the complaints with WM rematches was the part-timers using one of their limited appearances on them. For example if The Rock is only having two WM matches better to throw Punk into one of them, instead of Brock facing HHH or Undertaker again why not Cesaro (back when we thought Lesnar would be done by now)?
That doesn't really apply in this case, in fact I suspect the majority would agree it's both guys best option for WM.
Aside from that I think people over-estimate how many people followed them on the indies, even on NXT for that matter so it's new to them. Those that did see it probably take satisfaction of following it all the way to the biggest stage of them all.
Finally they did a great job filling in the NXT audience on their past, it should be easy to re-use that to hook people in.

Indy feuds and NXT means relatively little to the average WWE viewer who will be most familiar with what happens only on the main roster

I haven't been paying attention and what I want to know is whether Neville has been used well enough to be put into an IC championship match. I always feared he was being relegated to Superstars and Main Event for the most part.

I always feared he was being relegated to Superstars and Main Event for the most part. I think he's been doing OK... About as much as one can be on 50/50 booking and not really being featured that much in any storylines, anyway. He's nowhere near the level of an outright enhancement talent like Breeze or The Ascension, that's for sure.

I'm hyped, I just wish it had had more buildup on TV instead of it mostly being internet buzz of "When will Sami come back? He's gonna feud with Owens right?". They'll obvious bring up the NXT history in the next few weeks though.
Also slightly unrelated but Sami Zayn's music might be the best babyface theme ever. Certainly in a long, long time. It's just so "YEAH KICK HIS ASS DUDE WE BELIEVE IN YOU!"
