Breaking News: Neville walked out of RAW, possibly quit WWE
 

They better get him back. He's one of the best things they got going.

Say it ain't so :(

He should be Main Eventing on Smackdown.

Wonder if he got frustrated like Aries at not being allowed to move up from the division. He was great as the Cruiser champ but his reign also lasted longer than it should have because WWE was terrible at building up his successor.

Fuck him.

They wanted him to lose again to Enzo? I would walk too. He is one of like 4 things I like to watch though so this sucks. Braun, Rollins, and Sheamus/Cesaro is all.that is really left.but Rollins will be playing second fiddle to Reigns now ewwwwwwwww

Yeah totally dumb idea if they wanted him to lose.

Rumor going around the net regarding another reason for Kalisto suddenly getting a title shot was WWE didn't think ahead with the story of Enzo's special stip. They needed a way out of it and to reset the division since they also didn't have any long term plans for Enzo in the division especially as champ.

NOOO Neville was the best and most consistant heel theyve had in a long time

In fact for a while outside of Roman Neville was THE heel of the WWE

Talk about an ego

I guess Billy Corgan will have his first name for NWA

I thought that the next logical step for Neville was to be shifted back to the heavyweight roster. There really isn't anyone on Raw I was keen to see him feud with, but a trade to SmackDown could've done him wonders.

But in any event, he was far too good to be relegated to a secondary or tertiary feud in the cruiserweight division. If they told him they had no plans for him outside of the division, I 100% agree with his decision to quit. I don't agree with walking out right before a show and think he should have requested his release after the match, but I still don't blame him for wanting out of the company.

There are no shortage of places for him to go and make a really nice living.

Give him the Universal title to get him to stay. That is my solution.

Just looked into this. One random guy posted it on Twitter. Then Pro Wrestling Votes retweeted random guy. Then ProWrestlingSheet decided to just jump on the bandwagon and run with it.

Dunno how legit this story is.

If Kenton Lane posted it on the TPWW front page it must be true. He would never post fake news.

Lol, he's basically been champion & squashed every other guy on his show flat for a year, then they ask him to lose 2 matches & he takes his ball + runs home. Hilarious shit :lol:

Breaking: Neville comes down with a critical case of the CM Punk Blues. In a released statement, quote: "I don' wan' put nobody over. :'("

With how frustrating Raw is to even read the results of with how bad the show is, I can't imaging actually working there. Fair enough.

Or maybe he just sees 205 Live for the gimmick show that it is and/or he doesn't wanna be part of a bland, boring, creatively-stifling product anymore.

Pretty much, I'm assuming it's a bigher issue than just one thing. Dude is one of the best heels on any WWE show and puts on great matches, but it was clear he was put in that cruiserweight pigeon hole and was going to stay on the D show. They weren't going to change that no matter how good his performance.

Oh wow, I was not expecting to read anything like this. Neville has turned into one of my favorites. I thought he would be promoted more than anything.

If there's any validity to this, then I suspect there is more to the story than simply being asked to job. Maybe the guy is just frustrated spiritually or creatively? I dunno, something about the story doesn't feel right.

I had just fantasy booked Neville to get a huge push as a stablemate to Samoa Joe and Finn Balor as part of a faction that forms close to WrestleMania in order to take out The Shield. Neville would shine in that sort of environment.

Probably. I imagine it's very similar to the Austin Aries thing where they know they can be bigger than what they can showcase on 205 Live, but once you're a cruiserweight, you're just stuck in that division unless Braun needs to squash somebody.

According to Meltzer, the Kalisto/Enzo match was supposed to be at the PPV with Kalisto winning, so Neville wouldn't have had a PPV payday either because the single cruiserweight slot was filled.

I don't know if talent get money for PPVs anymore now that people don't actually buy them.

Probably right, but even then, to put on the best work of your career and then get bumped off the PPV as your division only gets one spot would fucking suck.

Feel like a Joey Styles style rant of "I'm not even good enough to work TLC?!" should be in order.

so when is his contract up if he has years left then he is stuck.

Right? How quickly he must have forgotten how wasn't on TV he used to be.

Sucks though. I enjoy his work.

Talented guy. Can understand his frustration. Had been working hard and was probably going to get relegated into a nobody with Enzo as the new top heel

So he could have become top face by slaying the annoying dragon.

He couldn't have challenged Enzo for the title because of the no contact clause thing Enzo had, which is why Kalisto was going to get the shot at TLC.

Then you're still the top guy on a show people barely care about with no story development and a single PPV match slot a month and you can't seemingly move once you're in that box.

He takes two months out of the title scene to freshen things up. Boo hoo. the built a brand around him for a year.

Can't say I'm surprised and its probably real similar to Aries situation. Don't blame the guy at all, now he can go do what he wants and how away from WWE. Being asked to job to Enzo more than once though is just too much to ask somebody. Sucks though because he was an entertaining spot on Raw.

Yeah, he will prob rake it in more on the Indies leaving while red hot instead of after he has been cooled off and made so people don't care about him again. I mean he would still rake it in, but slightly less than now maybe.

Not sure Neville ever renewed after his first deal...how long has been with them?


If he hasnt he isnt making much...

Hm, assuming that might be the case, the cruisers don't work house shows either which will affect his bottom line. Enzo has been since he moved over, but the division basically just does Raw and their own show.

Therefore of he can get let go and he is sharp marketing-wise, he can make way more on the indies... Making thos a smart move.

Yeah, should be an easy pay bump

May be tough getting that release though.

Clearly need Konan to step in and ask them to stop holding Neville hostage.
