When Seth Rollins came to the ring on this edition of Raw and put forth an open challenge, the crowd erupted when Neville stepped through as the challenger. Neville and Seth were widely considered two of the top athletes to come through the NXT ranks and they would put on a match that would deliver from start to finish.

Today, Rollins is recognized as one of the best wrestlers on the WWE roster. Each week he puts on an exceptional match with whomever he’s slotted against. This is why it’s important to notice that Neville kept up with, if not out performed him, in this one on one match. Neville has the ability to hang with any individual on the WWE roster.

The crowd popped when Neville hit the red arrow from the top, only for Rollins to quickly place his foot on the ropes when everyone thought it was over. Even though the match would end shortly after that, Neville did the best that he could have been asked with his only opportunity to face off against the WWE champion.

Many will question whether or not Neville was given a fair shot when he was brought up to the main roster. After excelling in NXT he wasn’t used in the same way when paired up against the best within the WWE.

But this match against Seth Rollins showed that Neville has exactly what is needed to have been a bigger player on the WWE roster. While he may not have ever become the WWE champion, this match was evidence enough that Neville can compete with the best in the world.
