CraveOnline: Can you tell us when and how you found out you were being moved up to the main roster?
Neville: So I moved up to the main roster the night after WrestleMania on Monday Night Raw. I found out the day of. I was told that I would be debuting that night. I heard rumors leading up to a week before the actual show but it was the day of that I was told I would be on Raw that evening.
CraveOnline: Let’s talk a little bit about Money in the Bank coming up on Sunday. You have a chance to grab that career-changing briefcase for a title shot. What can we expect this Sunday?
Neville: That’s a hard question because in a match especially in a ladder match there are so many variables. There are so many guys and so many scenarios. You never know what’s going to play out. So I’m not sure what you can expect. Honestly, what can you expect? I don’t exactly know but I do know whatever happens it’s going to be carnage, lots of excitement, and certainly the most important match in my career to date. I’ll be looking to grab any opportunity I can and make a name for myself and to make myself famous. I think regardless of the outcome, it’s going to be a spectacle in itself.
CraveOnline: When you faced John Cena that night, what did he say? What were his thoughts on matching up with you that night?
Neville: He gave me a lot of advice. John is someone who is really competitive himself so I think he welcomes this fresh new challenge that presents to himself. He was very complimentary of the match and I think I pushed him a lot more than he thought I was going to so…it was very cool. It was a very cool experience for me.
CraveOnline: I have to ask, there were a ton of rumors about a Mighty Mouse gimmick. Was that actually true?
Neville: That’s just a rumor. I don’t know where it came from but that was just an internet rumor. I guess that’s just the nature of the Internet. You read the wildest things and you’re not sure where they came from. But I don’t think there was much truth to that or if it was something blown out of proportion.
