Neville left WWE television abruptly. What if he'd stayed?

5. Neville reigns over 205 Live again

Neville vs Enzo
Neville may have won his Cruiserweight Championship back from Enzo Amore.

While Vince McMahon clearly had a vision for using Enzo Amore’s gift for gab to make him the face of 205 Live, it seems probable that one of two outcomes was bound to happen. As we saw in reality, Amore’s real life alleged sexual assault scandal would have caught up to him and cost him his job. Or, if WWE had allowed him to stay on (and not even demoted him) his limitations as an in ring performer would have worn thin with fans and colleagues until WWE had to make a change.

So, whether Neville was booked to beat Amore outright, or he was selected to take up the championship mantle after Amore was let go, he would remain the most obvious choice to represent the division as its champion. His combination of name recognition, physique, established credibility, and flashy finisher all would keep him a safe, comfortable choice for WWE.
