Stephanie McMahon’s Monday night announcement that Raw would play host to a resurrected Cruiserweight division post-Draft would’ve been music to Neville’s ears, and The Man That Gravity Forgot now finds himself in the thick of it.

Having missed the last four months with a fractured ankle, Neville is all set to anchor the Cruiserweight revival alongside Finn Balor, Sin Cara, and whoever WWE choose to bring in to compliment their more established fliers. Neville will be an immediate major player in a division that’s sure to be featured heavily, which is a huge boon for a wrestler who hasn’t always been utilised particularly well since his 2015 call-up.

While he lacks microphone skills, Neville is one of the best high-fliers in the business. His Red Arrow finishing move is awe-inspiring, and he’s proven through high quality matches with the likes of Seth Rollins and John Cena that he can match anyone in the ring.

In the Cruiserweight division, Neville will have countless opportunities to put on great matches with some of the company’s most exciting wrestlers, and WWE could do a lot worse than pit him against Balor to determine the New Era’s first Cruiserweight Champion.
