When it comes to momentum, Neville might be the one who has it all by his side, at this time. He has become the Cruiserweight Champion at the Royal Rumble PPV back in January. Ever since then, he has officially become the King of the Cruiserweights. There’s no one present in the lightweight roster who can outsmart him.
Even, the very best Austin Aries has failed to defeat him three times in a row. He failed at Wrestlemania and Payback. This past Sunday, at the Extreme Rules PPV, Neville had successfully retained the title, once again by defeating his nemesis. This time, it was more dominant since Aries was forced to tap out.
The reigning champion was present in an interview with the Sports Illustrated where he was asked about his view on none other than Triple H, the 14-time world champion and the man who is backing up the young bunch of talents.
Keeping his bonafide heel persona intact, Neville claimed that The Game is the role model to everyone in the WWE including him. But, he is focused on being on a mission to take himself to a certain level where he can be nearly untouchable. Check out his comments:
“For the longest time, I was trying to please everybody, the WWE Universe included. Now, I don’t care. If Triple H likes me or dislikes me, that’s not important to me. What’s important to me is me.”
Now, for sure, not everybody in the WWE, gets spared after taking a jab to Hunter who runs things here. It’s not clear if the comments were made, intentionally or just from the perspective of his on-screen character.
Neville continued his mean streak stating that he wants to dominate every superstar who gets into the ring against him. He clarified his future goals with these comments:
“Domination, baby. Domination. I am going to continue to house keep my kingdom. I’m never satisfied. If you think I’m satisfied now, that would be a big mistake. There is a lot for me to do, and this 205 Live and the Cruiserweight Championship are just the first steps.”
If The Man that Gravity Forgot can keep up the good works then for sure he is joining the main roster, sooner.
