Seth Rollins wasn't the only one to borrow moves from yesteryear on this week's Raw, Neville was also at it in the show's Cruiserweight division. Facing Lince Dorado in a relatively short match, the Englishman made one crucial decision that better fits his newfound heel persona.

Instead of blasting the masked man with a Red Arrow for the win, Neville decided to lock in a trusty submission hold instead for the victory. Older fans of WCW may have recognised the move, it was eerily similar to Perry Saturn's old 'Rings Of Saturn' submission. The announcers even picked up on this fact.

Providing guest commentary, Austin Aries actually called Neville's move the same as that used to describe Saturn's. Later, when Neville had put the hold on Dorado once more, Michael Cole joined in on the fun and used the Rings Of Saturn moniker.

It must be considered a smart move to shift away from high-flying, more spectacular finishers with Neville. Such a showy move like the Red Arrow doesn't suit his aggressive character now.
