Neville, WWE,
Why did it take so long for Neville to be released from his contract?

Neville was a guy with a lot of potential. In fact, he was the first ever NXT Champion and went on to become one of the first guys to win The Crusierweight title on 205 Live as well. Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, Neville wasn't happy with his position on the card, which he had every right to be and walked out on the company in October of last year.

According to Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE waited so long to finally release Neville due to the fear of him going to NJPW, which was what the company thought he would do. This apparently caused WWE to freeze his contract for an entire year to send a statement to the locker room that superstars couldn't just walk out on their contracts.

With that being said, Neville is now free to negotiate with other wrestling company's and while some believe he will sign a new deal with WWE, there are others that don't see that as a possibility at all. In the end, there is some speculation that he will show up at The All in pay per view, but Neville is staying mum on the subject for now.
