While it lasted, Neville's 2017 was probably about as good as anyone else's in WWE (at least anyone not named AJ Styles, anyway).

Most will remember it fore-mostly for his terrific series of matches - including on the WrestleMania 33 pre-show - alongside Austin Aries, with others favouring those he shared with Akira Tozawa in the summer. The hipsters' choice, though, is undoubtedly his bout with Mustafa Ali.

Though it took place under the WWE lights, this match is obscure for the simple fact that it happened on 205 Live, a show that generates so little interest the company was forced for part of this year to hold back AJ Styles until after TV tapings to keep fans from leaving prior to kick-off.

The tragedy of that is that Neville and Mustafa Ali - who, at one point, pulled off a crazy top-turnbuckle German Suplex, flipping the latter onto his front in mid-air - risked injury for very little reward. And with the Man That Gravity Forgot possibly on his way, the match is now even more precious.
