Kalisto made his Raw debut tonight and it appears Neville is officially on the main roster.
What did you think of their debuts?
Kalisto killed it and it was wise for them to put Kalisto in there with Cesaro.
Not sure if I dig the cape, but otherwise I thought Neville killed it doing what Neville usually does.

It's nice to see some new high flyers. There haven't been too many in the mix for WWE as of late.

I think they KINDA missed the opportunity to have Neville debut during the Cena open challenge. I get that it wouldn't make too much sense or whatever but it would have been nice.

I would've much rather seen that situation. It would be a "look good in defeat" situation that actually goes right. Ambrose has main evented PPVs and been dominant with the Shield, so almost beating John Cena doesn't do a damn thing for him. It would've done wonders for Adrian Neville though.

Sucks they got rid of Neville's first name. It starts with an A. Adam Rose is apparently the only guy allowed to have a first name that begins with A. Not Antonio, Alexander, or Adrian, apparently.

I think the name change for Neville is minor to be honest.
The great thing about Neville is that he's not just a high flyer. The dude has some serious strength as well, and I expect him to bust out the deadlift German Suplex soon.
After seeing Kalisto on the main roster, I'm convinced that his size isn't going to hold him back.
He's young and he can do stuff Rey never could. He's also got energy that just about no one else on the roster has along with a marketable chant and potential mask sales.
I could see Kalisto main eventing in a few years easily.

Yeah. Putting Kalisto in there with Cesaro was very very smart.
Both guys looked good. Neville got hurt a little because people kind of want to cheer Curtis.

I'm glad they both made it. Kalisto had the more impressive debut, but Neville should be just fine. I'm already excited for the faster-paced matches they'll likely bring to RAW (or Smackdown).

Cape was dumb, dropping his first name was dumb, I'll get over it. Holy hell I hope they don't f*** up Adrian Neville. A programme with him and cena for the U.S. Title would be amazing

The whole "Mighty Mouse" thing just equating to Adrian Neville being given a cape I was fine with - does even look kinda cool
But the dropping of his first name is just absurdly stupid. I still find "Sheamus" sort of questionable as a singular name for a wrestler but this - it sounds ridiculous.

I was really hoping for Finn Bálor. I mean Bálor.

I still don't quite get this trend towards "Men can't have first names and women can't have last names" on the roster, though the latter's been going on for a while.
Because we all remember the glory days of the Rock 'n Wrestling era with such names as Hogan, Piper, The Giant, Albano, Bundy, and DiBiase, right?

Whoever keeps making people drop first or last names needs to catch a beating. It's stupid and it needs to stop.
Otherwise, good debuts for both with hardly any gimmick alterations. Hopefully WWE doesn't f*** it up with either.

Neville looked the best he has in 6 months or so. The cosmetic changes are very much welcome and I actually don't mind him losing "Adrian". I am hoping they send him after the IC Belt though.
Kalisto looked great (though I wasn't sure about the entrance) and pairing him against Kidd, Cesaro and Ascension was a great touch since they know his stuff. However, putting them in a team with New Day at the peak of their hatred doesn't seem too smart (but the Usos are out and there are no face teams left).
EDIT: Also, while I hope Finn Balor stays such, I'm hoping Hideo Itami just becomes Itami. Just sounds better and I like that chant better than "HE-Day-OH".

Neville should have just wrestled Cena, obviously most people know here get that would be a good idea. WWE not so much. At least we got to get some Axelmania though in any case.

When I first saw him on NXT I thought it would be funny if they dressed him up as Mysterio and put him on TV and tried to pass him off as the same guy. That said it's a compliment because I see him as the next Mysterio.

They've never chanted "Itami" though so.. ? Just like with Finn Balor, the group mind of the group decided on "FINN FINN FINN FINN." So, if they dropped anything, I'm sure it'd be "Itami" faster than "Hideo."
