Reportedly when Neville walked into Raw, he was told by one of the producers in the back that he was going to be losing to Enzo in a non-title lumberjack match to close the show.
Neville reportedly said something in the ballpark of “Nah, actually I’m not. I quit.” and left the building.
There was allegedly utter chaos backstage, and the Kalisto/Enzo match was moved from TLC to that night, with 90% of the spots being called in the ring. The only planned sequences were the suplex on to the lumberjacks on the outside and the finish.
If Neville had worked the match, it would have seen a stipulation that, if he won, the “no contact” clause for him would be lifted and the title match at the PPV would become a triple threat.
Reports say that WWE planned a screwy finish with a heel, said to be Davari, costing “The King of the Cruiserweights” the bout, leading to a singles match on the TLC pre-show, with Neville starting a slow build towards a babyface turn.
Other sources are also claiming that Neville was also very upset with his new t-shirt the company had put out a few week’s ago (which he was vocal about on Twitter), coupled with the news that he was told a few weeks ago that there were “no immediate or future plans” to move him away from 205Live, despite there being nothing left for him to do.
