Neville's Unused Superhero Costume Revealed by WWE
The great performances of Neville in NXT shows suggested that he could become one of the main stars of WWE. But within the main roster of the company, the British wrestler never fully consolidated.
However, few people know that the creative team at WWE had been working on a superhero-style character for Neville, which the superstar did not like. He ultimately only ended up wearing a cape in his attire.
What is curious is that the journalist James McKenna, from the renowned Pro Wrestling Sheet site, tweeted a sketch of the attire that was worked on for Neville at some point. And although it is also purple, it has several differences from the attire he would eventually use.
According to McKenna, Vince McMahon himself, WWE's President, was excited about the idea of giving him a superhero-like appearance similar to Mighty Mouse. This outfit included a mask, boots, and even a belt. Neville did not like them and ultimately refused to use them.
Currently, he is on the sidelines of WWE because he is not comfortable with the treatment his character is receiving within the company, as he demands more prominence. Although we don't rule out the possibility of seeing him compete in 205 Live again soon.
