Some superstars are great. Others can reinvent themselves and make a championship and an entire division relevant again.

Neville disappeared in the fall of 2016, right as the Cruiserweight division was introduced on Raw. The division was impressive in terms of in-ring action, but was lacking in pretty much everything else.

Things all changed at Roadblock: End of the Line in December, where Rich Swann successfully defended his Cruiserweight Championship against TJP and The Brian Kendrick.

When Neville interrupted a triple threat Cruiserweight Championship match to assert his new heel character, it was the shot in the arm that the division sorely needed.
