Akira Tozawa def. Neville to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion

Titus Worldwide is bringing home the gold. In a stunning turn of events, Akira Tozawa defeated Neville to claim the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, usurping The King of the Cruiserweights and validating the wheeling and dealing from Titus O'Neil that resulted in the title match being moved up from SummerSlam to Raw.

It also showed Neville’s vulnerability for perhaps the first time all year, as The King of the Cruiserweights seemed to be looking past his challenger as he made his way to the ring. Tozawa, meanwhile, was laser-focused throughout, forcing the shaken champion to play dirty and target The Stamina Monster’s previously injured shoulder.

Neville overestimated his strategy, however, and a whiffed Red Arrow allowed Tozawa to strike with the top-rope senton for the incredible championship-clinching victory, kicking off a celebration with Titus and Apollo Crews in the ring. Long may he reign.
