Neville WWE Status And RAW Rumor Updates

We’ve noted how multiple sources reported that Neville walked out of Monday’s RAW in Indianapolis after finding out that he would be losing to WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore in the non-title main event of the show that night. The match ended up having Kalistodefeat Enzo to become the new champion but The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the plan is to put the title back on Enzo, possibly at the October 22nd TLC pay-per-view when he gets his rematch. It was also reported that Neville’s status with the company was up in the air but one source close to the situation believed that he was finished.

In an update, PWInsider reports that their sources say Neville never walked out of RAW as he was never backstage at the show, during any time on Monday. They also noted that Neville was originally scheduled to work Enzo on weekend WWE live events but he was replaced by Mustafa Ali.

According to PWI’s report, the original plan of Neville vs. Enzo was changed late in the day when it became known that Neville would not be at the show. They also note that there was talk of doing the non-title match after it was mentioned that Neville couldn’t receive a title shot due to the non-contact stipulation from the week before. Apparently they went with putting the title on Kalisto as a way to tie him to the legacy of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero as it was Eddie’s birthday. Kalisto did make a tweet dedicating the win to Eddie and Rey Mysterio, plus it was mentioned on RAW and in backstage Fallout video. Kalisto even received a congratulatory tweet back from Rey, mentioning Eddie.

Other sources report that Neville has pushed for a release from the company with the idea of going to the indies and making a name for himself outside of WWE, similar what Drew McIntyre did before he returned to WWE NXT. Neville has reportedly been unhappy with several factors, including being left off the WrestleMania 33 DVD and receiving no royalties from what is usually the best-selling WWE DVD of the year. Neville retained the WWE Cruiserweight Title over Austin Aries on the WrestleMania 33 Kickoff pre-show but all three pre-show matches were left off the version of the DVD released in the United States.

PWI adds that Neville is still under contract to the company and has not been released. However, WWE officials are not factoring The King of The Cruiserweights into any cruiserweight division plans for the time being but it is possible that the two sides come to terms and he returns to action. Neville is also not being booked for any upcoming live events or TV events. We will keep you updated on his status.

Backstage Update On Neville’s WWE Status, Possible Cruiserweight Title Plans

Regarding Neville’s WWE status, sources have confirmed that he walked out of Monday’s RAW in Indianapolis before the show hit the air. The plan was for Neville to lose to WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore in the non-title Lumberjack main event. The match ended up having Enzo drop the title to Kalisto.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Neville walked out when he learned of the loss he was to take. This was a last minute decision made by Vince McMahon, reportedly because no one could come up with a better idea at the last minute, they put the title on Kalisto instead of having Enzo defeat another cruiserweight. The Observer adds that the current plan is to get the title back on Enzo. The title change could come at the October 22nd TLC pay-per-view when Enzo receives his rematch.

Neville’s status with the company is still up in the air but it’s believed that he’s gone. One source close to the situation insists that he’s 100% gone. As noted yesterday, WWE is officially denying that he quit and the official word is that he’s still with the company. His profile remains on the WWE website as of this writing.

There are rumors of Neville quitting WWE and walking out before Monday’s RAW in Indianapolis hit the air. The original plans for the Lumberjack main event had Neville losing to WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore but plans changed and Kalisto ended up defeating Enzo for the title.

In an update, F4Wonline.com confirms that Neville did walk out of RAW before the show began and that his future is up in the air. WWE has officially denied that he quit the promotion. F4Wonline.com also notes that the originally planned Neville vs. Enzo match was supposed to be non-title.

The first Kalisto vs. Enzo match wasn’t supposed to happen until the October 22nd WWE TLC pay-per-view, as announced just a few hours before RAW began. As noted last night, WWE has confirmed that Enzo will get his rematch for the title at TLC.

Neville did not appear on WWE 205 Live last week and his profile remains on the WWE website as of this writing.

Neville’s last TV appearance came last Monday during the segment that saw RAW General Manager Kurt Angle announce that he had signed Kalisto to the cruiserweight Division. His last TV match came on the September 26th edition of WWE 205 Live, a win over Ariya Daivari. He did not work any weekend live events but cruiserweights rarely work the non-televised events besides an occasional singles title match.

Sunday’s WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view could end up being one of the most newsworthy pay-per-views of the year. WWE has been pushing the show as the biggest MITB show of all-time with two WrestleMania caliber main events – Seth Rollins vs. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns and John Cena vs. AJ Styles.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that there is once again internal talk about Finn Balor being called up. It’s possible his call-up is held off for the WWE Draft in July, but his debut is said to be imminent. There’s also plans in the works for The Wyatt Family, Neville and Randy Orton to return in the next few weeks. No word yet on if any of those returns will come on Sunday but The Wyatts have been rumored.

Ticket sales picked up in the past week and the company is expecting to sellout the 13,000 seat configuration at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

As noted, Neville suffered a broken ankle and broken shinbone on a baseball slide during Monday’s WWE RAW match against Chris Jericho.

Neville underwent more tests in Orlando at the WWE Performance Center on Monday and WWE’s Dr. Chris Amann reports that he will not need surgery. Neville is expected back in 2-3 months. Amann told WWE’s website:

“Neville had some repeat testing done in Orlando today which included X-Rays and a cat scan of his ankle. Upon further review, it has been determined that surgical repair of the ankle would not be necessary. Instead, he will be treated nonoperatively with a cast and crutches. The estimated return for this type of fracture is usually 2 to 3 months.”

Last night, Neville appeared to suffer an ankle or knee injury during his match on last night’s RAW against Chris Jericho. Jericho threw Neville into the ropes, and Neville tried a baseball slide between Jericho’s legs when he injured his ankle, as seen in the video below:

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Neville suffered a broken shinbone and a broken ankle. While it’s too early to know how much time Neville will miss, he most likely is out of WrestleMania 32.

Officials helped Neville to the back after the match.

Update:

As noted, Neville suffered a fractured ankle during the match with Chris Jericho on last night’s WWE RAW in Pittsburgh. He’s expected to miss WrestleMania 32. The way the match finished with Jericho getting disqualified for pushing the referee was not the original plan but they improvised and went with that finish after Neville’s ankle snapped doing the baseball slide

Neville Made RAW Debut

Former NXT Champion Adrian Neville made his RAW debut by defeating Curtis Axel. It looks like WWE has dropped his first name and he is going to simply be called Neville.
