Can't wait till Neville gets back on the Main Roster so he can face guys like Balor, Cesaro, Jeff, Rollins etc..

He proved that he can hang with those guys.

Plus Neville is so far ahead of everyone else in the Cruiserweight division, it feels like he's gonna have a reign like Asuka, cause I don't see anyone taking the belt from him anytime soon.
Yep, the discrepancy is too much now. Only Aries was at the same level despite the constant losses he took (and should have won, really.)

I almost want to see Neville say fukk ya'll (in kayfabe) to the current CW roster, and when someone steps up he'll give them a chance. Meanwhile he goes to main card and competes while still having the strap, lol. Almost taking it hostage in a sense.

It's already dead.

Neville's been doing the best work of his WWE career, and gets rewarded by... being pre-show status and getting left off DVDs.

They're still doing this Cedric Alexander/Alicia Fox/Noam Dar angle that started back in November. And when Cedric was injured they just inserted Rich Swann. :martin:

The guys who were slated to be at the top of the division all flopped (TJP, The Brian GOeAndTrick, Rich Homie Swann, Gentleman Jack Gallagher) and the other guys (Drew Gulak, Tony Nese, Ariya Daivari, Mustafa Ali) still have no direction or character a year later.

They don't have an over enough baby face to take the title off Neville, and the one guy that could have been it quit the company because he knew the division was trash.

Nobody's over so the crowd doesn't care about their matches, even the really good ones.

They had to advertise Nakamura and Cena in dark matches just to stop the crowd from leaving before 205 Live. They also had to put Titus and Sasha in feuds just so that anyone would give a fukk.

Only the championship gets defended on ppv, so the other feuds don't get a proper blowoff.

I expect the UK division to be handled just as poorly (if it ever even gets off the ground).


Damn :wow:

I think the only reason they made the division is so they could have a rug under which to sweep any small guys so they could control the amount of smaller guys getting over on the main roster... so im not surprised that it doesnt get a lot of attention

What happened to Jack Gallagher? He was cool when he first started and then he disappeared all of a sudden (I'm talking about Raw, I don't really watch 205 Live)

The UK show for all interns and purposes is dead now that WOS/Anthem isn't happening.

Also I don't know why we're surprised by this. WWE tried to do a light heavyweight division in the Attitude Era and it flopped, they did one during the first brand split that was fine until they fired Heyman. Eventually that belt went to freaking Hornswoggle of all people.

:whoa:. They'd have him getting squashed by Roman and Finn if he did that.
