10 Wrestlers Neville Must Face After Leaving WWE

2. Will Ospreay

Few wrestlers attract as much undue criticism as Will Ospreay. Yes, he's extravagant, and yes, portions of his matches are often closer to an aerobics display than simulated combat, but he's a far more well-rounded performer than eternal grumps like Vader and Jim Cornette will admit.

He's flashy, but also an elite-level bumper, and anyone who's seen the Essex flyer work more than once or twice knows he has a strong grasp of ring psychology. You'll see plenty of flips and dives within his work, but also a wrestler who rarely lets his matches devolve into meaningless stunt shows, and knows how to build the all-important 'big fight feel.'

Ospreay and Neville have never met, and while this bout certainly wouldn't be short of high spots, they're both three-dimensional enough to craft a true main event-style classic. The fact that Will just became IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion makes this one all the more enticing, too. Would NJPW hot-shot Neville into an immediately title match upon arriving in the company? There's a strong chance, given that Ospreay has already wrestled most of the division's top contenders several times this year.
