Is anyone else SURPRISED by how much the fans cheer for ALEX RILEY?

No, I'm seldom surprised when a heel, that was bullied by their partner, turns face and attacks their now former partner and is cheered by the fans. In fact, I expected him to be cheered and make a face turn ever since Miz started bullying him or blaming him. But I am actually a fair bit surprised that he's getting quite a lot of fan reaction. Especially during Cole/Miz and Riley segments.
