We are back and Neville makes his way to the ring.
Neville says we are five days out from Wrestlemania. He finds himself at a crossroads. He needs to reflect on his life, his career, and his trials and tribulations that put him where he is today. He is not someone who had it easy. He has faced many trials and many tribulations and he has had to pick himself up time after time. He says he has been overlooked but he picked himself up. Last year, three weeks out from his first ever Wrestlemania, he broke his ankle.
Neville says he saw the world revolve like nothing happened. Neville picked himself up and he came to 205 Live. Neville says he has changed the landscape of 205 Live. Without him, there would be no Cruiserweight Title match at Wrestlemania. Neville says you would rather cheer for a commentary clown. An individual who makes cheap little jokes at everyone's expense. If that is who you want to dethrone the King of The Cruiserweights, you better be careful what you wish for.
We have a video package of 205 Live without Neville and there is nothing. He says without him, 205 Live is nothing. Neville says he is 205 Live. Once more, Wrestlemania is not about you, Austin Aries, or 205 Live. It is about him having his long overdue moment in the sun.
Austin Aries interrupts and goes to the stage. Aries says this is the difference between you and him. You want to point the finger at the WWE Universe and run everyone down to feed your ego. Aries says he will give credit where it is due. He won't say there is no 205 Live without him, but with him it is twice as great. He will not say that Neville is worthy of the Cruiserweight Title, but he will say that he is a little bit better than Neville.
Aries says he likes to use his wit and sharp tongue to add humor to things. Without that, he would walk around life as angry and miserable as Neville.
Let's talk about how they are not so different. They both have had to prove people wrong. They are not so different in the fact that everything they have now, they have fought for it. People have not wanted to give things to them. They both have big egos and big chips on their shoulders. That brings them to the place they are most alike. No matter where they are on the card, when they walk out that curtain and walk down that ramp, they are the main attraction and they are going to tear the house down. That is what they are going to do on Sunday.
You can talk about him not being competition. You can talk about him being a clown and a joke. You can repeat it as many times as you want, but Aries says he knows that Neville knows exactly who he is and exactly what he can do in the ring. He says he can and he will . . .
Neville attacks Aries with the title belt and then he kicks Aries. Neville sends Aries face first into the mat. Neville is about to leave the ring, but he decides to send a bigger message to Aries, but Aries hits Neville with the mic and then he applies the Last Chancery but Neville escapes.
We go to credits.
