Despite having massive talent- Cruiserweight Division failed miserably

Neville's departure- a huge loss

Neville made his return in late 2016. He debuted in the Cruiserweight Division and declared himself as the ‘King of Cruiserweights’ after winning the Cruiserweight Championship.

One thing we need to understand is that before Neville, the Cruiserweight Division was in a worse off state. One man cannot bring much change. His debut alone cannot make 205 Live interesting. He tried to revive the Division and succeeded a little when he had a feud with Austin Aries.

After the feud, CWD was back in shambles. Also, his title reign was entertaining as he performed really well as a heel. His mic-skills, in-ring capability, high-flying action were exemplary. His departure from the CWD will surely cause it a lot of loss and will submerge it in obscurity. Kalisto has replaced Neville in 205 Live but the Luchador lacks the charisma of Neville.
