In the over exposed world of today's WWE, very few moves can consistently cause jaws to drop like Neville's Red Arrow. Named after the RAF aerobatic team based a couple of hours from Neville's hometown of Newcastle, the Red Arrow is a move that gets better with every watch.

Combining a corkscrew dive and Shooting Star Press, the move manages to hit with a level of impact that justifies its extravagance. Unlike a simple splash or leg drop, the Red Arrow builds in velocity with every stunning rotation.

When 'The Man That Gravity Forgot' turned heel and actively avoided his impressive arsenal of aerial moves, the Red Arrow took on a greater meaning. It was teased and denied with a vindictive arrogance before being pulled out in the most spectacular circumstances.

Equal parts majestic and brutal, the move helped Neville build up a relationship with WWE audiences from his days in NXT all the way through to his run on the main roster .

It may sound counter intuitive but one of the best aspects of the move is that it's not essential to every Neville match. Unlike stars such as Evan Bourne or Billy Kidman relying on their signature aerial move, Neville's use of the Red Arrow breeds true anticipation and awe.
