6 Major Booking Mistakes WWE Made At No Mercy

6. Enzo Dethroning Neville

Neville as champion was the one thing holding the cruiserweight division together.

Among all of the unimaginative six-man tag team matches and the poor WWE Network ratings, the title still felt important because it was Neville who was the one holding it.

The Briton made people take interest in the stars of 205 Live with his defined character, and the viciousness with which he combined it with his acrobatics. And WWE fed him to Enzo Amore.

They made Neville look like a fool by falling for Enzo’s tricks, and this type of victory will not curry him any favour with the wiser fans who are beginning to see past his promo charm.

Enzo was moved to the cruiserweight division with the hope that he would enhance it, but putting the title on him this early is more likely to kill it. Since he was split from Big Cass, his in-ring limitations have become so obviously exposed that one-time fans have turned against him, and even more will do so now following this undeserved coronation.

Unless this title change is quickly reversed, already low interest levels in the cruiserweight division, and 205 Live, will drop even further. WWE needs someone to help Neville share the burden, but Enzo is not the man. The Cruiserweight Classic was about celebrating the best cruiserweight wrestlers in the world. That audience isn’t going to tune in for Amore.
