I’m sure they will once Becky wins the title and Seth wins the Universal belt. It’s much different this time around as the two people positioned in big matches are liked. That's if they're booked to win those respective championships. We know how petty and vindictive Vince can be when he doesn't get his way. I don’t think that’s the case either. Vince was apparently demanding that Becky win the Rumble and has been a big fan of hers ever since her heel turn and subsequent rise.

Are post Mania crowds even that interested in the show anymore? The last memorable crowd post Mania was when D-Bry won the championship. In comparison to the week to week audiences, they are still definitely as lively as anything else. However, the post-Mania crowds in the last couple years seemed to be a bit exhausted compared to previous years, because now there's more shit to do that weekend. Particularly Takeover and live Smackdown the next day, the matches at Axxess are no longer cheap throwaways and are instead taped NXT episodes or Network specials, and the indie shows are across the board becoming a more prominent part of the weekend. Still, it would have been better to save these four people for Mania weekend simply because it's an easy guarantee that the audience will know who they are.

What's this!? An overabundance of talent on the main roster? Calling people up from NXT ought to put a stop to that! AHHHHH THE SITUATION HAS ONLY BEEN MADE WORSE WITH THE ADDITION OF YET MORE TALENT!

This company took that "we'll take risks tonight guys" thing completely the wrong way. Granted, there's no way they could have known the crowd would be that bad so I'm not going to put the crowd blame on them. That's just how it goes however what they should have done is readjusted it. In that opening promo Triple H could see how the crowd reacted to the NXT stars and show their debut vignettes and if they didn't get hype enough just set up their debut post-WM. They didn't have to go all the way with this and hell they can even say there was a change in plans and do something else because the crowd making these stars mattered the most. There should have been another script they could whip out in case of an emergency to prevent this but this? Nah, that's not being creative and thinking outside the box. That's some standard "ok lets debut some dudes" thing that they always do. At the end of the day, the biggest thing I took from this Raw is that they blew their post-WM load on a random post-EC show and this was what they came up with while prepping. On that same token it took 6 days to make Kofi Kingston a WWE Championship contender. Sorta ironic on how such a great build had to rebound on other areas. Just nasty. And while we're on the subject I'm pretty sure Kofi was the most over guy on the show and he wasn't even there. Kofi got a ARENA WIDE CHANT out of that crowd, he deserves the title off that alone.
