Neville won a hard fought battle with former Cruiserweight Champion, Rich Swann tonight on RAW, but it was what happened after that set a big WrestleMania program in motion.
When Neville proclaimed that there was no competition left for him on 205 Live, the RAW Chicago crowd burst into Austin Aries chants. Hearing the crowds chants, Neville said “you can’t be serious to think you could hang with me.”
