We chart Neville's remarkable run as WWE Cruiserweight Champion.

As you can see in the video below, many have tried to take on the Newcastle-born star, but few have come close to wrestling the purple belt away from him.

Neville has held the belt for a total of 229 days since his win against Rich Swann at Royal Rumble in January.

His only blip came when he lost the title to Akira Tozawa on RAW back in August, only to regain the championship at SummerSlam six days later.

But it is his clashes with Austin Aries that will be remembered most fondly.

The pair's encounter to start Wrestlemania 33 was one of the best matches of the night and showed how entertaining two cruiserweights at the top of their game can be.

Amore is a new addition to the Cruiserweight Division after being dropped by tag team partner Big Cass earlier this summer.

The brash New Jersey native will offer stiff opposition for the dominant Neville but his track record proves he should never be written off.
