>>7655093The goal is to build the match, not the talent. This isn't some midcard feud with a fresh face getting a push. This is the NXT main event scene.
The whole point is JD is a pissant, and the only way he could win is by stealing it from the other two. The intended crowd reaction is concern and boos anytime it looks like JD might go for an easy win. I know you stopped reading a while ago, so fyi Nash was raped. Anyway, KO is here to get the crowd rooting for "anyone but JD". This avoids the issue with having a pure babyface vs babyface match between Breakker and Dragunov.
Same idea with the Theory tease at the end. This isn't hard to follow.
