WWE 205 Live: Neville and Rich Swann brawl ahead of Royal Rumble
Neville defeats Cedric Alexander - with help and via submission
Wednesday 25 January 2017 10:02, UK
Rich Swann and Neville became embroiled in an all-out brawl on WWE 205 Live as tensions cranked up ahead of their Cruiserweight Title encounter at Sunday's Royal Rumble.
Cruiserweight Champion Swann rushed to the ring to attack his weekend challenger Neville after the Brit and Scotland's Noam Dar had launched a two-on-one assault on Cedric Alexander.
Neville will be looking to scoop the Cruiserweight Title for the first time in his career at the Royal Rumble, in a match you will be able to watch live on Sky Sports Box Office.
The Newcastle-born star will head into his championship opportunity on the back of a victory, having defeated Alexander in Ohio on Tuesday.
Alexander looked poised for an upset victory - until Dar's distraction saw him slip off the top rope and get caught in a submission move by his opponent.
Neville, angry at the unwanted assist, sent Dar packing, but the 23-year-old swiftly re-joined the beat-down of Alexander until Swann emerged.
Elsewhere on WWE 205 Live, Tony Nese biffed TJ Perkins with a German suplex into the turnbuckle and a running knee after losing to the former Cruiserweight Champion via a roll-up.
Plus, The Brian Kendrick submitted local wrestler Tripp Bradshaw with Captain's Hook.
