WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Dec 26)

10. Neville Is Still A Babyface In The Raw Opening

Several weeks ago, Neville turned to the dark side and attacked WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann. Forgoing the red aesthetic he usually favours for black, the Newcastle native has been afforded the chance to cut some fine promos as of late. Unfortunately, his new alignment change isn't reflected in Raw's opening.

The video package that signals the beginning of the show aims to pack absolutely every member of the Raw roster on screen. There isn't a lot of time to work with, meaning WWE's production team often have performers appear for just a split second before moving on. Neville is one of those shown performing a dive, before he poses on the ropes.

This wouldn't be a problem if Neville was still babyface. Due to his new heel role though, the happy-go-lucky nature of the pose doesn't really fit.

It's likely the production staff will edit this intro to push the Englishman's new persona in coming weeks. For now, he's still being shown as a good guy. That needs to change.
