Will Ospreay Calls First Dibs On Match With Neville

Will Ospreay has called shotgun on facing Neville first now that the wrestler formerly known as Pac is a free agent.

Last night, it was reported that Neville is no longer contracted to WWE. His pending return to the independents and non-WWE promotions has wrestlers and wrestling fans alike excited.

Neville/Pac Free Of WWE

Few details are available at the moment as it concerns how Neville’s time with WWE ended. It’s possible that his contract ended but it is also possible he and the company came to an agreement on his early release.

It does appear, however, that Cody and the Young Bucks were aware ahead of time before news broke. The members of the Elite dropped a few hints through social media in the days leading up to the news breaking.

Matt Jackson and Cody’s talk regarding Neville may have been a coincidence or it may not have been.

It has been over 6 years since Neville was a free agent. He began his career with WWE in mid-2012 and debuted in NXT that October. During his time with NXT, he won the NXT title once and the tag-team championships twice, once with Oliver Grey and once with Corey Graves. On the main roster, he was a former 2x Cruiserweight Champion but is believed to have become unsatisfied with his role, the product, or both.

His last match in WWE was on October 7th, 2017. He defeated Enzo Amore by DQ at a 205 Live house show.
