I guess so, since he was attacked. presumably he's the next challenger to the NXT Title?
Yea seemed like it. And yes he needs to go for the title now. Otherwise turn Dream and feud with him.

The WWE performance centre crowd is really annoying, it feels like a lot of people there have never watched wrestling before.but I can do without the geek trainees chanting "fall and pray" at him... technically they should be chanting it at his opponent shouldn't they?

it's either that or it feels so put on and not organic. I need to chant "this is awesome" just because, not that anything is actually awesome. They did a "this is awesome" chant at the start of the 6 woman tag (either before the action started or a few minutes in, I can't recall the specifics). It definitely was NOT awesome at this time (or any time actually).

There were a couple of points today and yesterday that made me wonder if the trainees are jack of it, and are now taking the piss out of it. There was a "you still got it" chant today, which is pretty widely regarded as the most hated chant among wrestlers.

All chants by wrestling crowds suck. One of the things that is so refreshing watching old wrestling is the crowd cheer or limit their chants to supporting a specific wrestler (eg "RVD RVD" or "Y2J Y2J"). I hate the constant chanting that goes on these days it is cringeworthy and ruins the show for me. I can deal with "holy s**t" if something crazy happens but even then the reaction is better than having to chant. It's like someone saying "that's funny" or "LOL" instead of just laughing.
Anyway rant over.

The thing is though, we are in a day of "smart fans" who know the heel wants to be booed. So instead of going "I don't like you, boo" you get "you are doing a good job in being a heel, cheer'. I know I am guilty of it. One of my favourite heel promos was Alexa Bliss post the Elimination Chamber when she faked a face turn. I didn't boo, I cheered because it was a good heel thing to do.wrestling was better when faces were cheered and heels were booed, instead of the 50:50 split we have these days.

In hindsight it was inevitable. As WWE steadily pushed away 'normal' adult fans, what was left? Geeks and obsessives.
I think it is just a natural progression of the industry and the times we live in. With the internet and ease of watching the product the audience is just smarter. What WWE (and AEW) could do is present their characters and story and use fan reactions more to guide future ones. A good example of this was the failed Becky Lynch heel turn. She turned heel. Cut a heel promo. The fans rejected her being a heel and in turn became badass face. A bad example of this is Roman Reigns not turning heel for the longest time.It's also a consequence of WWE moving more towards "entertainment" and further away from "sports". Fans are more self aware that cheering for the character is ridiculous considering it's pre-determined so they instead cheer the person with chants like "you still got it" or "you deserve this". And of course their role as fans is now one of audience participation rather than spectators/supporters. I don't know when this changed but I assume sometime between 2001 and 2012 when I didn't really watch any wrestling whatsoever. Rewatching Attitude Era/Invasion storyline and it seems the Austin "What?" chant seems to be kickstarting it.
Just my 2 cents anyway.
Remember 3-4 years ago when NXT was can't-miss?
I have no idea what it is I'm meant to get excited about on this show now, everyone that they're pushing sucks except Keith Lee and Io Shirai.
TBH, I don't think any wrestling without a good crowd is can't-miss atmRemember 3-4 years ago when NXT was can't-miss?
