The Cruiserweight division is once again Neville’s kingdom, but the WWE Cruiserweight Champion has no shortage of potential challengers to his throne. Eight of them squared off in an epic tag team contest on Raw, and two on the victorious team — Gran Metalik and Cedric Alexander — made the strongest impression.
The former opened the contest against flight-averse Drew Gulak and helped Alexander seal the victory, taking Gulak out during an apron-clearing brawl, at which point Cedric defeated Tony Nese with the breath-taking Lumbar Check that sent The Premier Athlete careening into the air before crash-landing on the canvas. Despite that display, Neville seemed unconcerned about the security of his reign during a post-match interview. But when Akira Tozawa invoked his rematch clause for 205 Live tomorrow, his tune quickly changed.
