Neville Talks Red Arrow, Main Roster Transition, and More

WWE Superstar Neville was recently featured on an edition of “Ring Rust Radio,” speaking with hosts Donald Wood, Mike Chiari, and Brandon Galvin. Within his appearance, Neville spoke on a number of topics in regards to his time spent in NXT and WWE.

Neville discussed his transition from NXT to the main WWE roster, beginning in late March of 2015. “The Man Gravity Forgot” did note he had some concerns at first:

“I think NXT prepared me for Raw and Smackdown more than I ever could have hoped for. I was with NXT for about two years, so by the time I debuted on Raw I felt very much ready. There was a level of concern but I was lucky in the sense that I got the chance to wrestle some of the top guys early on. Guys like Seth Rollins, Sheamus, and more recently John Cena. So it was a concern that I wouldn’t get those types of opportunities when I came in but I was fortunate enough to get them and grab them. I was very happy in the way I transferred and the opportunities I got.”

Additionally, Neville spoke on how he put together his finishing move, “Red Arrow:”

“The Red Arrow took a long time to come together and I wanted to make a move that was unique to myself. It’s a move I built up with building blocks. I wanted to do a corkscrew moonsault backwards, so I had the idea of doing it forwards like the shooting star corkscrew, and I was aware no one else did that in wrestling. If I could perfect this technique it would be unique to me. So it took a long time and me putting these building blocks together and had to come over the fear involved. Eventually, I nailed it and knew it was going to be my own. It’s been my move now for a long time, about six or seven years now I’ve been using the Red Arrow.”

Neville briefly hit on how NXT has became its own brand:

“You know I think it does a lot for the brand but I feel like the NXT brand became its own thing by itself. You have to watch the NXT shows to realize the depth of talent the NXT brand has compared to Raw and SmackDown. That’s a real testimony to the guys and girls at NXT. It shows how hard they work to put on such a great product that it’s become its own brand. It’s now becoming more heavily featured on Raw and SmackDown, I think that is just awesome.”
