#2. Hope isn't true: NXT stars upset at a situation in tapings

WWE has started to use developmental talent in the audience to give a small feel of fans returning to the arena. The same happened in NXT, but in a recent taping, the heavy rains led to a major delay.

Fightful Select's report said that many of the recruits were upset about the situation as they had to reportedly wait for up to five hours for a TakeOver match to start:

“The recruits were asked to show up at 7, but the downpour in the area kept delaying things. As it turns out, most were waiting around until midnight before they actually filmed the In Your House match.”

We hope this isn't true because the situation sounds frustrating, but if it is true, then we can understand why the recruits would feel angry about it. From varying reports, it seems like the recruits are kept in separate tents and are made to stand for a long time. One can only imagine how exhausting that can get.
