I see this as a positive that happens with a lot of NXT guys (Balor, Ciampa). Why change what got you cheered in the first place.
I'm not saying the story for the feud would be bad, but I kinda liked them together as a group. Would have liked it more if they'd never turned face, but KOR was leaning face and they all just kicked the **** out of him.
I also disagree with the direction of the show being bland too. Although I'd agree more about the last few weeks since the Dusty Cups started. I've otherwise found it to be the best wrestling show on the air currently. You also run into the issue of the main roster constantly raiding NXT because they need more people for comedy skits on Raw. I think it's remarkable how much they've kept my interest despite the attrition.
Short rant on a lot of these one move turns recently. They suck. Sheamus kicks Drew and then just leaves. Cole kicks KOR, Balor and then just leaves. What does that do? What ever happened to the turns where you they just beat the **** out of someone, which caused viewers to really want to see the babyface get their revenge. I single move and then leaving the building does nothing for me.
