Cynical observers may choose to look towards Neville's recent communication breakdown with WWE as the reason why the Cruiserweights have somehow poached two matches on Sunday's supershow.

It's overlooking a main event so stacked with talent that a mining of the 205 Live crew may have been considered a necessity, because god forbid a pay-per-view not go three hours plus whether anybody needs that much wrestling or not.

Whether it's a shot across the bow to the former champion or not, it's encouraging to see the talented quartet get a rare chance to shine following weeks of healthily-built conflict.

Jack Gallagher (no longer a Gentleman) was in show-stealing form earlier this year, and his partnership with The Brian Kendrick threatens to yield potentially the best match of the night with the dynamic and criminally underused babyface opponents Rich Swann and Cedric Alexander.

With Enzo Amore revealing a rather dangerous alliance on Monday Night Raw, expect the babyfaces to win here in order to shore up ranks ahead of a 205 Live Survivor Series match in November. Should Swann and Alexander beat some respect into their two opponents, perhaps all four here could join Kalisto in taking down the antagonists.
