Neville def. King Barrett by Count Out
BALTIMORE — Neville’s uprising against King Barrett’s ruthless rule soared to new heights at WWE Payback, as The Man That Gravity Forgot defeated WWE’s King of the Ring by Count Out and delivered a spectacular post-match Red Arrow to the royal Superstar.
Despite successfully bull hammering his way past The Man That Gravity Forgot at WWE King of the Ring Live, it was the electric Neville who got a taste of payback on this evening. The electrifying Superstar got off to a quick start in this contest of British born competitors, but Barrett soon gained control of the bout thanks to his powerful striking offense. Delivering a brutal array of kicks, knees and punches, the chiseled King successfully grounded the high-flying Neville.
Unfortunately for Bad News Barrett, even the King of the Ring couldn’t hold down The New Sensation, as a resolute Neville fought back with an energized attack. Barrett rolled out of the ring to avoid Neville’s spectacular Red Arrow, but the King was unable to escape harm’s way as Neville performed an awesome over-the-top-rope dive onto his foe, injuring both Barrett and himself.
A determined Neville climbed back into the ring, but Barrett instead chose to remain outside the ring as the referee counted to 10, handing the less than fulfilling victory to a frustrated Neville. The cunning King was not done with the fight; however, as he interrupted his opponent’s celebration, tossing the sensational Superstar from the ring .
The speedy Superstar would not let the King get the last laugh on this night though, countering a potential knockout blow with the septor into an impressive german suplex. Then, Neville hit the King with a Red Arrow of royal proportions.
With Neville’s determined fight against King Barrett’s monarchy gaining momentum, what’s next for these British rivals?
