10 HUGE Predictions For Independent Wrestling After ALL IN

5. King Of The Indies

This is going to be fun.

If Neville embarks upon the kind of post-WWE run we all expect, he'll join Cody as a monument to the power of betting on yourself. Creative differences saw him walk out in 2017, and while ALL IN didn't actively foster a "them versus us" theme, this has always been part of the subconscious narrative. People want to see Neville thrive because of how he was undermined in WWE. The world is behind him, the pop he receives on his first indie appearance will be thunderous, and if the former Pac delivers, he'll be the most buzz-worthy wrestler outside of WWE's control.

The possibilities are endless. He can jump back into the British indie scene and immediately become the biggest name in the country, or rejoin Dragon Gate to pop a tour or two. PWG, EVOLVE, wXw: they'll all be after him, and chances are that Ring Of Honor and New Japan have already put feelers out re: signing a full-time deal.

Neville has all this in the palm of his hands at the moment, and he can do it all if he wants to.
