Neville's main roster run so far:

Wins on Raw (debut)
Loses on Raw (Rollins)
Wins on Smackdown (Axel)
Loses on Raw (Ziggler)
Wins on Smackdown (?)

I don't think I've ever seen a guy get called up to the main roster before and not always win for the first month or two.

Oh boy. Big Show vs Reigns in a Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules.

You also don't see guys come up and get to work with the WWE Champion in their second freaking match. They obviously have big plans for Neville.

Honestly, Bryan isn't really needed from a roster standpoint anymore beyond his existing popularity.

When Bryan came along, the only guy they really had like him was CM Punk. Now, there are plenty of other guys at his level with the same indie cred who can take his spot.

Sad but true.

I wish he had just gotten the surgery and come back for Summerslam or something. Now...no clue what'll happen.

This post is crazytown to me. He DID draw money, and was in the middle of popular culture. Bryan is still on the outskirts. No crossover appeal.

He has polio. It's up to you if it's an exaggeration, but I feel it's pretty major.

If he's broken down he shouldn't be wrestling, period. Might as well go home and be a stay at home dad or become a road agent or trainer at the performance center. Whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't kill himself or his body in the near future.

But hey, might just be a minor injury, who knows?

Does WWE have staff security? Or they just get what comes with the venue rental?
Click to expand...

Supposedly one fan in a mask ran out and distracted security then the other 4 used that distraction and ran into the ring

Plus Smackdown Spoilers:

John Cena came out to his usual British reaction with "John Cena Sucks" chants. A replay was shown of his match against Bad News Barrett from Raw. Cena said we just saw a part of a painful Monday. He thanked London for being a great host city. He repeated the stip for Extreme Rules. He said the rules are you are tied to each other with a steel chain, and you have to touch each corner. Cena said that we might not see him in it as someone could beat him before then.

Cena issued the open challenge and out came Cesaro, Kidd, and Natalya. Kidd said you see the best champions, fact. Kidd said London doesn't deserve WrestleMania. They got in the ring, but Daniel Bryan came out. He said he heard some talk about the best champions in WWE today. He took a poll of the crowd of who the best champion to the crowd. This led to a match being announced as Cena and Bryan vs. Kidd and Cesaro for later...

Neville vs. Sheamus was also announced for later in the show...

2. Bray Wyatt defeated R-Truth. Truth still knows which city he's in. The lights were out for Wyatt's entrance and looked amazing. Truth got the early advantage but after a minute Wyatt did the crab walk and took over. Wyatt won with sister Abigail in two minutes.

Part of a sit-down interview with Roman Reigns was shown on the big screen...

The Miz made his way out to little reaction. He had mic in hand and bantered with the crowd and got them against him. He said Mizdow was lucky on Monday and that Mizdow is nothing without him. Miz was interrupted by Bad News Barrett, who received another huge pop.

Barrett said we are not in your wretched Hollywood, we are in London. He said the fans haven't come to see a pretend movie star. They came to see him...

3. Bad News Barrett defeated The Miz. Barrett won in 20 seconds with the Bull Hammer...

Renee Young interviewed Mizdow, but they were interrupted by The Miz. He reiterated that Monday was a fluke. Miz said he wants Mizdow to stop using the Miz brand. In a funny moment, Mizdow mimicked Miz, which wound him up. Mizdow challenged Miz to a match on Monday for the Miz trademark. Summer Rae slapped Miz to end the segment...

4. Neville beat Sheamus by DQ. Before the match Sheamus laid into Neville on the mic, and pointed out his height and compared him to Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, and all the other little fellas. Neville got the early advantage with some exciting fast paced moves, before Sheamus took over with ground based power moves. Neville won via DQ when Sheamus slammed him on the commentary desk.

After the match, Sheamus beat down on Neville until Dolph Ziggler came out for the save. Ziggler said no one likes Sheamus, not even the Welsh. Dolph challenged Sheamus to a match on the spot. Sheamus said "kiss me arse." Sheamus said he would face Dolph in a "kiss me arse" match at Extreme Rules...

5. Kofi Kingston and Big E defeated Los Matadores. E said things, but not much of it made sense. The crowd chanted "New Day Sucks." New Day won by pinfall...

Fandango ditched Rosa Mendes. She was looking sad when Adam Rose came past and gave her a pep talk... Big show was shown walking backstage...

Big Show came out mic in hand. He said it's painfully obvious that English people suck. He said no one in the world can stop him. He said Roman was disrespectful. The crowd chanted boring. Show said he doesn't see Roman Reigns as a threat. He pointed at the dents in the taxi as replays showed how those dents happened on Raw.

Show sat on the taxi after the last replay. He said he could have finished him there, but he decided not to. He asked The Authority for a match against Roman at Exteme Rules. He asked for a last man standing match. Sigh...

6. Cameron beat Alicia Fox and Natalya. Complete silence early on, only cat calls. Cameron won via pinfall...

7. Fandango beat Adam Rose. Aggressive offense from Fandango, before Rosa Mendes came down and distracted him. Fandango won with a roll up in just under two minutes. After the match, Fandango danced with the crowd again...

Bray Wyatt talked in riddles again in a pre-taped interview with the line "the reaper walks in the daylight"...

8. Daniel Bryan and John Cena beat Cesaro and Tyson Kidd in a non-title match. Some idiots entered the ring with security chasing them. Two of them performed a Rock Bottom on the other. Tosspots. Anyway, the match started with Cena getting the early advantage against both tag title holders. Cesaro turned the tide with the heels tagging in and out quickly.

The crowd loudly chanted Daniel Bryan as he was reaching to tag in. The heels isolated Cena for another couple of minutes. When Cena got to the corner, Kidd pulled Bryan off the apron. Eventually Bryan got the hot tag and unloaded with kicks and punches with the crowd chanting along. Bryan eventually applied the cross face on Kidd for the win

Bryan did work in this match.

Punk when he was motivated was an A+ talent. Problem was that he was a C+ talent when he wasn't motivated. He was easily the best talker WWE had at the time though.

Pretty much. Give Punk what he wants and he's money. Give him an extended feud with Curtis Axel and Paul Heyman and he's shitting himself every night.

Could the guy be great? Sure. But he's even worse than Randy Orton at getting boring and lazy when he's bored.

Punk is a bitch. He's sold out on wrestling all together. At least he sure makes it seem that way.

Ok your experience was shitty, leave it at that. I feel like he is trying to drag everyone down.

If you ignore his relation to the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants, a bunch of basketball arenas, and just a lot of random people enjoying his Yes chant.

Sure. No crossover appeal at all.

It's like they say, the best way to help a bad mood is to spread it around.

Punk did a lot of good shit, it's a shame his final years weren't anything to write home about.

Did these not involve a yes chant? Because I'm hearing that the chant is over, not him.

Yeah the salt Punk still has for wrestling is starting to bug me too. At this point he should be over it.

It's a shame too, the guy was one of my favorite talents when he was still with the company
