Ups...

7. Neville Annihilates Ali

Let’s face it: There really isn’t anyone on the Neville Level right now. If Austin Aries isn’t there, then who is?

Mustafa Ali certainly isn’t. Ali put up a decent fight, but he took far too long trying to set up his big move – an inverted 450 splash – twice. That led to Neville taking over and then demolishing Ali in quick order.

The big question here is whether Akira Tozawa, who faces Neville on Sunday, stands a chance. Tozawa didn’t have any facetime on Raw, but he certainly connects with fans with his war cry and will give the Cruiserweight Champion a run for his money.

But on Raw, Neville looked unstoppable.
