7) Neville ESCAPED With His Title
In a rematch from Wrestlemania 33, Austin Aries got another chance at the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. He faced Neville at Payback.
It appeared that Neville was going to tap out during the match. He ended up using the referee to break the submission hold. The referee disqualified Neville, giving Aries the win. Unfortunately for Aries, Neville retains his title as a result.
