A Gentleman attempted to dethrone a King at tonight's (Sun., Mar. 5, 2017) Fastlane pay-per-view (PPV) at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when Jack Gallagher challenged Neville for the cruiserweight championship. He came up short.
Gallagher showed himself capable early on but Neville's ruthless streak proved superior to proper competition. Not even a monster top rope belly to back suplex could keep the champion down.
Then, this:

Gallagher's strategy after this was to use headbutt after headbutt to put Neville out. It went a ways toward accomplishing his goal but Neville was just too much. He busted out the Red Arrow to get the finish but it earned him the pin to retain his title.
What may be more noteworthy here is Austin Aries again playing multiple video packages aimed at promoting his debut in the 205-pound division, which is coming soon. Considering the result here, it sure looks like Neville needs an opponent for WrestleMania 33.
Hmmm...
