Swann and Neville circled each other before finally locking up. Swann drove Neville into the turnbuckle before Neville did the same to Swann. Swann then took Neville out with a dive outside the ring before rolling him back into the ring.

Neville hit back with kicks and a bodyslam. He then headed to the top rope and hit a vicious dropkick for a 2-count. Neville then put his boot to Swann’s neck and drove it down into the mat. Swann tried to hit back with a couple of weak punches but Neville kneed him in the face. Swann then rolled Neville up in a crucifix for a 2-count.

Neville continued dominating Swann with a snap suplex and followed it up with a forearm in the corner. He then put Swann in a low angle headlock as he tried to squeeze the air out of Swann. Neville follows it up with a knee-assisted chin lock but Swann finally powered out of it and followed it up by sending Neville, who had rolled out of the ring, spine-first into the barricade.

Neville hit back though, sending Swann into the barricade too before rolling him back into the ring. Neville headed to the top rope but Swann hit him with the Rich Kick as he came down. Both men were laid out in the ring and crawled back to their feet.

Swann hit a beautiful enzeguiri and followed it up with an hurracanrana. Nevile rolled out but Swann hits a twisting 450 Splash from the turnbuckle and onto Neville.

Swann followed this up by grounding Neville and just pounding him. He followed it up with a roundhouse kick for another nearfall. Neville got back to his feet and hit Swann with an elbow but Swann was undeterred. He grounded Neville and hit him with a running Frog Splash for another nearfall. Incredible leap from Swann.

Swann headed to the top rope but Neville took his feet out from under him as Swann was stuck in a precarious position on the top rope. Neville jumped off the top rope before the two men hit each other with Superkicks. Swann followed it up with another Rich Kick but Neville managed to reach the bottom rope.

Swann headed to the tope rope again as Neville got back to his feet. Swann took too long and Neville hit Swann with a Superplex. He went for the cover but Swann kicked out. Neville then locked in the Crossface Butterfly Armbar as Swann finally tapped out.

Another new champion as Neville becomes the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion.
