5 Ups And 9 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 8th)
4. Neville Needs Direction
Another week, another solid match from Neville, but the Man That Gravity Forgot seems to be floating without any real direction lately. And while his WWE career is just getting started and hes introducing himself to WWE fans, the high-flier needs to start having a purpose of some sort. This might be premature, but it should be an area of concern if it continues. Neville came out and challenged Kevin Owens to an NXT Championship match, which Adrian lost. While it was a really good match (and that could be an up on its own), its the second open challenge title match hes lost in less than a month (he lost to John Cena on Raw). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFuIiMGF_XU WWE tried to give Neville a mini-feud with Bo Dallas, but the company blew that off quickly at Payback and on Raw the next night. He could benefit from a longer feud, perhaps for the Intercontinental Championship. Whatever the decision, hopefully he doesnt become a guy sent out there to hit some eye-popping moves and then look up at the lights.
