10 New Era Superstars who had to come up the hard way

9. Neville

   

   While main event status seems unlikely, Neville can always pull off a surprise given the right opportunity.

The high-flyer has remained one of the most captivating performers inside a WWE ring, ever since making his mark on its developmental brand, NXT. Neville started his run in his native United Kingdom under the ring name PAC. Having conquered the local scene, he traveled around the world, leaving behind a trail of jaw dropped supporters in Italy, Japan, and the United States.

Bearing decorations from places as diverse as Dragon Gate, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and NXT, the 2015 Slammy Award Winner has been restricted to comic book inspired storylines and tepid feuds that do nothing to bolster his character within the promotion.

Currently billed as “The Man that gravity forgot”, Neville’s singular potential is contained within his high-flying identity. He has put up a multitude of mid card matches that conclude with his extraordinary display of athleticism and are quickly forgotten. His regular spate of injuries could not be the sole reason for the lack of title runs. For a man of his experience and determination, WWE Creative has been lethargic in accommodating him inside the slew of storylines that it usually yarns out.
