In his first opportunity to become the King of the Cruiserweights, Neville was brutal in his attack on Swann.
Despite Swann’s best efforts, Neville was able to finish him off with his vicious Rings of Saturn like submission and take his place on the cruiserweight throne.
With the victory, Neville becomes the fourth person to hold the Cruiserweight championship since the division has been brought back to the WWE.
