I don't think it's cheerleading per se
But it does look bad that a Conqueror would drop his goals so easily, especially w/ the level of distress Kaido, the Beast Pirates, and Orochi have caused for Kid.
Big Mom is irrelevant to Kid imo, everything revolved around Kaido.
But we gotta go back to the end of the Rooftop Fight and realize they made their moves and went their separate ways taking on two Yonkos, since both together was a problem.
