On 205 Live, the new alliance of Neville and Brian Kendrick defeated Rich Swann and T.J Perkins. It's a nice little twist on the 'every man for himself' style of the Cruiserweight division WWE were presenting before to have Kendrick and Neville coming together. It's important that continues this week.

Walking backstage, Neville tells Kendrick that he can head to the bar and get the drinks in. He has Perkins covered, and will teach him a lesson for disrespecting Brian to begin with. Chuckling, Kendrick says he's looking forward to seeing the tape back. That excuses him from the rest of the segment.

Beating T.J, Neville then tries to add a little insult to injury. Teasing the Red Arrow, the high-flying heel then decides to land on his feet and lock Perkins in the Captain's Hook. This would be a tribute to Kendrick.

Sprinting out, WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann helps Perkins. As Neville backs up the ramp, he tells the camera that one was for Brian, and he can't wait to join him for a drink.
