British wrestler Neville continued his impressive form with a non-title triumph over Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann on WWE 205 Live.

The Newcastle born-star has dominated the cruiserweight division since returning at Roadblock: End of the Line, with a singles victory over TJ Perkins on Monday Night Raw one of his successes.

Neville could now be in line for a championship shot after defeating Swann with a superplex on Tuesday evening, having chucked him into the barricade and ring apron earlier in the bout.

Neville's countryman, Manchester grappler Jack Gallagher, was also in action, the 26-year-old facing Ariya Daivari in a Gentlemen's Duel.

Daivari believed he would gain the upper hand when he picked an umbrella as Gallagher's weapon but the Brit took down his rival with the brolly.

Daviari managed to launch a brief fightback but a head-butt from Gallagher soon forced him to flee, bringing the duel to a close.
