10 Best Gimmicks In WWE Right Now
8. Neville
Neville was one of WWE's most pointless performers this time last year. A tremendous in-ring competitor, he was never given a clearly defined character on the main roster, and floundered as a result. He made a hot start to life after NXT, and came within an inch of unseating WWE Champion Seth Rollins in August 2015, but soon became Generic WWE Babyface #452 and disappeared from television shortly after.
His heel turn at Roadblock: End Of The Line last December completely transformed his career, and turned him into one of WWE's most interesting characters. The 'King Of The Cruiserweights' gimmick has been nothing short of fantastic, with his newfound bitterness unlocking vaults of charisma that nobody knew existed before, making him 205 Live's clear standout, and a wrestler who should now be destined for major success away from WWE's most listless brand.
Neville's tragedy is that his best work takes place on a show nobody watches, but he has won countless plaudits for his character work in 2017. Always one of the best pure wrestlers in the company, Neville finally has a gimmick to match, making him 205's most complete performer by a landslide.
