After taking the belt from Bo Dallas at NXT Arrival, Adrian Neville went on to become the longest-reigning NXT Champion in the brands history. Nevilles reign of 287 days saw him regularly defend the title against the likes of Dallas, Tyson Kidd, Tyler Breeze, Sami Zayn and Brodus Clay, with him eventually losing the belt to Zayn in a brilliant match at NXT TakeOver: R Evolution. The Man That Gravity Forgots title reign saw him wow fans as he put in a number of fantastic displays, showcasing both himself and NXT as a brand and garnering a lot of attention and fanfare. Now its up to Neville to build on his established reputation and take things to the next level. The list of NXT Champions is a small one at this stage, with Seth Rollins, Big E and Bo Dallas coming before Neville. Heres hoping the Jumping Geordies rise to the main WWE roster is more Seth Rollins than it is the other two.
