Another pre-show match involved Austin Aries challenging Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Despite being on the pre-show, this match ended up being widely regarded as one of the very best matches of the entire evening.
Aries gave it everything he had, but in the end, Neville had just enough to overcome the 17-year veteran, thus retaining his title. Make no mistake about it, Austin Aries is far from done with Neville. As long as Neville holds the purple strap, Aries will keep a target honed in on his back, eagerly awaiting one slip-up.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
