Neville vs. Austin Aries for the Cruiserweight Championship

Both Neville and Aries add so much to the Cruiserweight Division and seeing them two tear it up in the ring will be great to see. Despite the odds against the division, adding Aries to it only helps and with Neville absolutely killing the game right now, it is definitely one of the highlights of Raw. They are extremely talented and will bring the fight to each other when it’s ready to go down in the ring.

This was one of my top picks to end up on the Kickoff Show too because of the Cruiserweight Division being a part of the Raw brand. I wouldn’t mind seeing the other Cruiserweights making it on the show, but at this time that is not for certain. However, as far as other Cruiserweights go is that the Cruiserweight Classic was so successful that there should be at least one match that features two guys at WrestleMania. That’s not a knock on Neville or Aries at all. I’d just like to see someone like Cedric Alexander, The Brian Kendrick, or TJ Perkins have a chance to compete on the WrestleMania stage.

I don’t see Aries winning the belt but we shall see. Neville hopefully wouldn’t lose his thunder either in a loss. His heel character has been amazing to watch and the heel turn was definitely the right call for the company and the best thing they have done this year thus far. This saved Neville from the NXT curse he was definitely getting swarmed in until that point. Even though Aries was in NXT for a short time, having him on the Cruiserweight Division isn’t a bad idea either and a great way to get him onto the main roster. Aries’ experience in the ring was definitely a big plus when it came to the opportunity at hand.
