What if Neville hadn’t left WWE television?

3. Neville re-enters the heavyweight ranks

Neville may have found himself back amidst the heavyweights.

When last we saw Neville, he attacked Enzo Amore in direct contradiction of orders not to physically engage with him, on penalty of not being able to challenge for the Cruiserweight Championshp again. Many theorized that WWE was setting up Neville as an anti-authority face who’d find his way back to the title mix and eventually give Amore his comeuppance?

Another possibility? Maybe WWE would have simply moved Neville back into the heavyweight ranks for fresher matchups and the chance to broach the main event status he had achieved back in NXT. There’s no guarantee he would have succeeded in that context, but it might have opened up quite a few fresh matchups, be it on Raw or SmackDown, and made available a number of new possibilities for his character. On the flip side, he might have gotten lost in the shuffle, though, not unlike what happened during his initial face run on the main roster.
