WWE's Cruiserweight Division remains in a state of flux, with the majority of the roster of lightweights reduced to jobbing roles on Raw whilst the bulk of the '205 Live' crew struggle to make headlines outside of the narrow parameters of the show itself.

However, two have stood out amongst the chasing pack, and it's extremely gratifying to see both getting such an huge opportunity to steal the headlines at WrestleMania.

Regrettably, it's likely that the blockbuster Cruiserweight Title match between Neville and Austin Aries may end up on the pre-show, but even if the pair are demoted to the early shift, they're still likely to electrify on all evidence provided.

Separately the two contested excellent matches on Monday's Raw, with Gentleman Jack Gallagher and Noam Dar the respective tackling dummies for Neville and Aries.

'A Double' was also given the rub in New Day's token segment, joining the comedy triumvirate in a hip-swivelling promise to dethrone 'The King'.

With performances so superlative in recent weeks, it's hard to assess where either man will go following WrestleMania, with both elevating their statuses so far beyond the division that neither can truly afford the loss.
