Neville and Austin-less cruiserweight matches are struggling to carry much meaning at the moment, so much of the division's spotlight - with good reason - cast on its two stand-out performers, whose WrestleMania rivalry is still going strong nearly two months after it kicked off.

Endings like this don't really help things, though. The match was brought to an abrupt halt when dastardly Brian Kendrick suddenly rolled up Dan Maloney for a TJP-assisted improvised pin around the ten minute mark.

You can forgive having the match's sole Brit eat the pin (its three other competitors, one of whom will presumably step into the title picture next week, can scarcely afford a loss). But it would have benefited from a strong, crowd-controlled finish.
