Neville on His Dream Opponent, Who Should Join Main Roster From NXT

WWE superstar Neville, who is scheduled to face Bo Dallas one-on-one at “Elimination Chamber” on May 31, was recently interviewed by Daniel Falconer of FemaleFirst.co.uk.

The former NXT Champion discussed who is dream opponent would be, which developmental star he’d like to see join the main roster, as well as his feelings going into the match with Dallas on Sunday:

Q: What would be your dream match-up – as in opponent, type of match etc.?

Neville: Again, it’s so hard to single one out. Obviously you know, when you talk about dream matches and you talk about the WWE, you can’t not mention John Cena. I wrestled John a few weeks back on Monday Night Raw, in one of my favourite, favourite matches that I’ve ever had. I feel like it was competed at a really high level and I feel like I surprised John with the fight that I brought. And also the end to that match was quite inconclusive, so I’d love the opportunity to do that again with John, perhaps on an even bigger stage than Monday Night Raw – maybe a pay-per-view or something – that would definitely be one of my dream matches. But there’s so many it’s hard to single out one, but John would definitely be one that springs to mind.

Q: There’s obviously a lot of talent bubbling away in NXT, who would you like to make the move up next?

Neville: I think Finn Balor. He’s an incredible talent, and a man that I’ve known for, going on 10, 11 years, no, longer than that actually, probably about 14 years now. Not only is he an unbelievable talent but he’s a good friend of mine so I’d love to see Finn make the jump. I think he’s a very worthy candidate for the next jump, but you never quite know what’s gonna happen and that’s the beauty of WWE. You never know who’s gonna move where, when, you never know quite what’s gonna happen, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Q: We saw you on NXT end Bo Dallas’ reign as NXT Champion and that storyline is developing even now with him attacking you this past Monday on Raw – now you’re set to go one on one at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, what are your feelings going into that match?

Like you said, me and Bo have a lot of history. We’ve got a little bit of unfinished business, so I’m very much looking forward to being able to step into the ring again with Bo. Taking nothing away from Bo, he’s an outstanding athlete and a great competitor, and he tests me, he really does test me so… I love competition, I’m a very competitive person so I’m looking forward to the opportunity again to stand there with Bo and go at it.
