5 promotions where Neville could make his return to Pro Wrestling

After his recent departure from the WWE, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville now has endless possibilities for himself, as he gears up for his big return to the Pro Wrestling industry, having last competed in the squared circle way back in September of last year.

Having previously competed for some well-renowned promotions around the world like PWG, ROH, and even NJPW, it remains to be seen which promotion eventually decides to bring back the former self-proclaimed King of The Cruiserweights.

In this article, we take an in-depth look at 5 promotions who could very well bring back Neville back into the Professional Wrestling industry.

#5 Ring of Honor

Will Neville make his return with ROH?

Despite having made only a few appearances for Ring of Honor way back in 2007, Neville, as expected, lived up to his potential during his sporadic ROH appearances. During Neville's first and only run with Ring of Honor, the man formerly known as Pac, shared the ring with some of the very best in the industry in the form of Bryan Danielson, Davey Richards, Matt Sydal, and Roderick Strong, whom Pac challenged for the FIP World Heavyweight Championship in his debut appearance for ROH.

Having lost all four of his previous matches with ROH, Neville could head back to the promotion in order to gain some retribution in the near future. And considering the fact that Ring of Honor is also the home of The Bullet Club Elite, who of course are huge fans of the former Cruiserweight Champion, maybe we could potentially witness a few interesting on-screen exchanges between the two parties in the future as well.

However, that comes for later and Neville possibly making his return to Pro Wrestling will not only benefit himself but will also be a massive booster for ROH as well.

#4 House of Hardcore

House of Hardcore could change the entire landscape by bringing back Neville

"No Politics, No BS, Just Wrestling" is the slogan ECW legend Tommy Dreamer's House of Hardcore stands for and in the past, HOH has already provided several notable superstars with a platform to shine on. Much like Neville, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann, who was also released shortly after his former CW Division adversary, went on to compete for three different House of Hardcore events shortly afterwards.

Much like Swann, Neville could also very well announce his return to Professional Wrestling with Dreamer's House of Hardcore, who have been doing some absolutely amazing stuff on the independent circuit. Therefore, one can definitely expect Tommy Dreamer to book Neville's return to the squared circle in a legendary manner.

#3 Impact Wrestling

Or is Neville going to challenge for Austin Aries' Impact World Title in the near future?

Prior to his short run with Ring of Honor in 2007, Neville wrestled for Impact Wrestling (then known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling) where the British upstart competed as part of the Impact! Total tour in Portugal.

Fresh off his debut tour with Impact Wrestling, where Neville competed alongside fellow British wrestlers Spud, Jonny Storm, and Jody Fleisch, the future NXT Champion then went on to make his debut with another top American promotion in the form of ROH.

However, by this point, it is pretty safe to say that Neville's first run with Impact Wrestling was somewhat underwhelming, and with Impact quickly developing itself as yet another massive heavyweight promotion in the world of pro wrestling, fans definitely shouldn't be surprised if the former King of The Cruiserweights makes his return to Pro Wrestling under the Impact Wrestling banner.

With the likes of Penta El Zero, Taiji Ishimori (more on him later), Rey Fenix, and Sami Callihan competing on the Impact Zone, we can definitely witness Neville in a few mouthwatering matches if he eventually decides to sign with Ed Nordholm's promotion.

#2 Dragon Gate

Neville is likely to get a hero's welcome back in Dragon Gate

Following his first PWG: Battle of Los Angeles Tournament, Neville was invited to compete for Dragon Storm in 2007 for their Dragon Storm 2007 tour and during the very same tour the British superstar also affiliated himself with Dragon Gate faction Typhoon, replacing the WWE bound Matt Sydal.

Shortly afterwards, Neville went on to capture the wXw World Lightweight Championship and following the separation of Typhoon in 2008, Neville eventually sided himself with World-1 in 2009. It is safe to say that it was during Neville's tenure with Dragon Gate when he quickly rose to stardom and eventually cemented his place as one of the hottest superstars on the Indie circuit.

Having won the Open the Brave Gate Championship, the Open the Twin Gate Championship, and the Open the Triangle Gate Championship on three different occasions, Neville found immense success in Japan. And following Dragon Gate's expansion to the United States of America, Neville also became one-time Open the Gate Champion alongside Masato Yoshino.

If Neville is to make his return to Dragon Gate, then there is no doubt in the fact that he will be welcomed back with open arms and will quickly become yet another fan favourite.

#1 New Japan Pro Wrestling

Neville's return to NJPW could be historic

In 2012, Neville made his debut for top Japanese promotion New Japan Pro Wrestling, as he entered the 2012 Best of Super Juniors Tournament and immediately made an impression by picking up his first win over the legendary Jushin Thunder Liger. Neville eventually finished his block with 10 points on board and subsequently finished as the leader of the A Block as well.

However, following defeat to Ryusuke Taguchi in the semi-finals, Neville eventually marked his departure from NJPW within the next few days. But, that being said, a return to NJPW is quite possibly one of the likeliest options' for the former Cruiserweight Champion, as he looks forward to making an immediate mark upon his return to NJPW.

In addition, another valid reason for Neville signing with NJPW is definitely going to be The Bullet Club factor. Within these past few weeks, BC members Cody Rhodes, Matt Jackson, and more importantly Bullet Club OG Tama Tonga claimed on social media that they are indeed huge fans of Neville. Whereas, Tama's fellow BC Firing Squad stablemate Taiji Ishimori has also been teasing a new Bullet Club Jr. Heavyweight who is apparently going to be teaming up with The Bone Soldier at this year's Super Jr. Tag Tournament.

With Tama Tonga, Tanga Loa, and the rest of The Bullet Club OGs currently recruiting members for The Firing Squad, could we possibly witness Neville make his grand return to NJPW and eventually join forces with The Bullet Club Firing Squad? Only time will tell!
