WWE Raw Results: Analysing and grading each segment (December 26th)

T.J. Perkins vs. Neville:

Neville has been excellent as a bad guy, but he must not turn into a foreign British heel

Result: Neville pins T.J. Perkins with a roll up.

Grade: 6.5/10

This was a decent Cruiserweight match that actually had the crowd making noise, but a few sloppy moments led to this not being nearly as solid as it should’ve been, given both men’s talents. Neville’s promo post-match was great, as he continues to prosper as a heel.

Calling out Rich Swann was smart, as the Cruiserweight Title should be Neville’s main focus. However, the integration of Neville turning into a ‘foreign’ heel of sorts, by berating American fans for disliking his accent, should be forgotten.

Foreign heel gimmicks are outdated, and heel Neville is better off without it. Overall, a decent match, with Neville continuing to excel as a heel in promos and matches.
