Is Daivari ready for the "Neville level?"

A fired-up Akira Tozawa wants a piece of Ariya Daivari: Raw, July 24, 2017

Much to the chagrin of Titus O'Neil, Akira Tozawa wants a rematch against The Persian Lion, but what he gets is an unexpected encounter with WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville.

During their match last week on Raw, Ariya Daivari realized that Akira Tozawa's shoulder was injured and took advantage of his opponent's condition. This led to Titus O'Neil quitting the match on behalf of his client, which resulted in a rematch between them on WWE 205 Live.

Despite his injury and brutal targeting by The Persian Lion, Tozawa was victorious, but still wanted retribution after Daivari zeroed in on his shoulder. As a result, a still-injured Tozawa insisted on facing Daivari on Raw, again much to the chagrin of O'Neil.

As Tozawa awaited his opponent, WWE Cruiserweight Champion - and the Superstar who injured Tozawa - Neville made his way to the ring. The King of the Cruiserweights happily took credit for the Japanese Superstar's injury and berated his nemesis. Itching for a fight, Tozawa attacked Neville but aggravated his shoulder in the process. This was Daivari's opportunity to strike, and he unleashed on Tozawa.

In a shocking turn of events, The Persian Lion helped Neville to his feet before attacking the WWE Cruiserweight Champion and motioning to the title, suggesting that it was now his time to reign.

Because of Daivari's actions, he will have the opportunity to prove he is ready to ascend the throne of the Cruiserweight division and will face Neville tonight on WWE 205 Live. Is it Daivari's time to shine, or will The King of the Cruiserweights extinguish The Persian Lion's hopes? Find out tonight on WWE 205 Live at 10/9 C on the award-winning WWE Network.
