5. Showcase Neville
It seems like Adrian Neville has been in WWE NXT forever. The Newcastle native reported to the developmental league in the summer of 2012. Now, almost three years later, Neville has finally arrived on WWE TV on the March 30th Raw. The Man That Gravity Forgot made a great first (or second, if you include the NXT tag team showcase from September) impression. The Man That Gravity Forgot unloaded with a huge springboard moonsault, rapid-fire kicks and, finally, the astonishing Red Arrow, making quick work of Curtis Axel. It was a nice glimpse of what Neville (who apparently no longer has a first name) can do. Thankfully the rumours of him debuting with a Mighty Mouse gimmick were untrue. Neville did have a slightly different look than in NXT, coming out with a cape and some swish new purple gear. He certainly looks the part. The majority of the WWE Universe has no idea just how much Neville can do in the ring. He truly is one of the greatest high-flyers of all-time. Now, WWE needs to make sure that they educate fans on Neville and showcase him to the best of his abilities. If given ten or fifteen minutes and the right opponent (Cesaro, for instance) on Raw, Smackdown or PPV, Neville could steal the show and become a firm fan favourite, especially with the kids. The sky is the limit for Neville. Here's hoping that WWE don't cut off his wings.
