Since returning to action, Neville has provided a breath of fresh air in the flagging cruiserweight division, an established wrestler who carries himself as a star. Neville also has added a great deal of conflict to a division whose matches start with a handshake.

So on Sunday, Neville has a chance to win the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, which if he does, he would be the fourth champ since the title returned in late September. That’s an awful lot of hot potato with the belt, but the self-proclaimed King of the Cruiserweights already has given champ Rich Swann an edge he was lacking – he was simply the happy-go-lucky champ who danced down to ringside and told opponents that they “can’t handle this.”

A Neville victory Sunday would put the belt on an established star and could shake up the division a little. A loss might make for a more unhinged Neville, so that could be interesting as well. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see if this match gets some time for the high-fliers to shine.
