Where is this going, and did they know? (Spoilers)

One of the weirder things about HHH's vote of no-confidence last night is how solidly behind him the crowd was. Now, they HAD to know that was going to be the reaction. HHH was getting solid pops for like two years at the end of his heel run, before the DX reunion happened. People want to love this guy. Add to that the fact that the main voices last night - the Otunga group, then later Beth, Barrett, and Christian - are all heels. The only faces that took a definitive stand against him were commentators, and, as has been pointed out, the top faces in Cena, Orton, and Punk were absent from the crowd. I'm not even sure Sheamus was there. Taking a look at the video, I only see Sin Cara, Air Boom, Zack Ryder (granted he came back out and all but that was one of HHH's "Dark Pedigrees" that don't really happen) and some of the general midcard faces out there, plus some Divas (oddly though I c an't seem to find Kelly Kelly in the walk-out vid,) it seems like anyone being pushed as any kind of main event face was kept out deliberately.

So what happens with this going forward? Was there some kind of "conspiracy" to keep the particular faces away from this vote? And why would WWE deliberately set the majority of the locker room, minus vaguely half a dozen guys, against the audience? Any face that walked out on HHH last night did at least a tacit heel turn since they were clearly working against the desires of the audience.

Now, I fully expect Vince, with Lauranitis as his stooge, to be behind this. What interests me is to find out how things play out. Lawler hit on something last night by saying that someone backstage definitely is working against HHH. This whole thing seems to be aiming to split the WWE in half (which, with Survivor Series on the horizon, is a good way to position things.)

Does anyone else see HHH rehiring Miz & Truth in return for them dropping their charges, to help him uncover the real conspiracy? I'd find this extremely interesting, because you basically would have a cadre of guys in Miz, Truth, Punk, Orton, (and Sheamus, if in fact he was absent last night) ending up in a de facto alliance with Cena, and that list of names makes up most of his major feuds in the past year or so.

Add to that, that the ball sack of a Triple H heel turn has been dangling in our faces for quite a while now. Do we finally see it, or does this perhaps end up becoming a company-wide HHH vs Vince deal that finally puts Vince kayfabe out of the company for good?

Anyways, discuss this very interesting angle and what you think they will or should do with it.
