Say what you will about WWE’s cruiserweight division reboot, but one thing that you can’t fault for any problems is the champ, Neville.

Since his return to WWE, Neville has been a force to be reckoned with, winning the Cruiserweight Championship in January and demolishing the competition for months. Monday, he took out the man he beat for the title, Rich Swann before the bell, then demanded to know who could stand up to him.

Neville name-dropped Akira Tozawa, who looks to be the next challenger, and that very well could be a really good rivalry. Along the way, it looks like Neville will continue to be the center of the cruiserweight universe.
