At least NXT's quartet got a better reaction from the WWE fans on SmackDown than they did from Raw's crowd. That either shows the difference between the core audience both brands attract or it's more of a slight geographical bump from Lafayette to New Orleans.

Black even got an "Aleister" chant during his match with Andrade, and Ricochet looked all sorts of fired up as he made his entrance. People went wild for all the NXT guys; in the past, we'd be cynics and say those cheers were canned. Of course, they're not, 'cause SmackDown is live.

Bizarre stuff.
