Sunday night at Roadblock, Neville returned to WWE to attack Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann and TJ Perkins, making himself 100 times more interesting than he had been in the past year.

Monday night on Raw, Neville continued his transformation, informing fans that he didn’t want their pity cheers and that he was the king of the cruiserweights. Swann protested this change in attitude, but it drew out Brian Kendrick for a 2-on-1 beatdown, until TJP showed up… and promptly got beaten down as well.

We’ll see if Neville continues to be a dominant force in the cruiserweight division and if this new attitude translates into success, but so far it’s a change for the better with the high-flier looking more three-dimensional than he has in quite some time.
