WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for February 20

Cruiserweight Championship Contract Signing

That poor ring crew. Again with the rope change for next to nothing!

Good on Neville for trying to avoid a typical WWE contract signing. Enter ring, sign paper, leave ring. If more people tried that, maybe “pro wrestling contract signing ends in violence” wouldn’t be the most obvious trope in the world.

I am really enjoying the Battle of the Brits in the Cruiserweight Division, too. Neville is perfect to be the “Destroyer” type character, because we’ve already seen him do most of what he’s doing to non-cruiserweights. If the guy can deadlift German an opponent like Ryback, he should be able to launch TJ Perkins into the fifth row.

His polar opposite is Jack Gallagher. Quirky, odd, but immensely talented, he’s almost an anomaly in WWE. He doesn’t look like he belongs. But of course, you can’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Playing them off each other like that is so easy that I almost want to not like it because it’s so obvious, but so far so good in my opinion. With Neville acknowledging that Gallagher is “what they wanted me to be,” it sets up a kind of parallel universe in WWE.

How about Gallagher’s headbutts, though? Man, that looks brutal every single time. I don’t know how he hasn’t concussed someone else yet – or even himself.
