Neville has what it takes to be the main heel of the Cruiserweight division, and that seems like what he’s poised to be. So where does this leave Kendrick? Well, for now, it probably leaves him by the wayside. That’s when things got interesting as Neville came out and attacked both Swann and TJ Perkins, indicating his overdue entrance into the Cruiserweight division along with a surprising heel turn. He was a part of the triple threat match for the title last night which saw current champion Rich Swann eventually retain. But he lost his title much earlier in his reign than many might have expected, and now he may be out of the picture all together. That’s why he was essentially pegged as the centerpiece of the division as he challenged for and eventually won the Cruiserweight title from TJ Perkins. He’s always been solid in the ring and is extremely confident and effective on the mic. With that in mind, here are four predictions for tonight’s show.īrian Kendrick may be the most talented all-around performer in the Cruiserweight division. There will be plenty of fallout from Roadblock on tonight’s Raw. Now that the odd couple are champions, what lies ahead for both them and the newly championship-less New Day? Now that he has inserted himself into the picture and turned heel in the process, the Cruiserweight division is a whole new ballgame.Īnd then of course we have the New Day, who finally lost their tag team championships after an incredible 478-day reign due to some unreal teamwork from Sheamus and Cesaro. But once the division was established, it made his absence even more confusing.
The Cruiserweight division underwent a monumental change as Neville is finally where he belongs: in the thick of the Cruiserweight title picture. Even if there was no Cruiserweight division, Neville being off TV for this long was unacceptable.
There were a number of impactful moments that will help shape WWE over the next several months as we move toward the Royal Rumble and eventually WrestleMania. For a pay-per-view that was significantly lacking any sort of hype, the show actually delivered in some respects. WWE Roadblock: End of the Line is now in the rear view mirror.
What kind of fallout can we expect to see on Raw? The final WWE pay-per-view of 2016 is in the books as Roadblock took place last night.
