Neville likely is going to end up like Paige in the sense of Creative completely misinterpreting what made both special in NXT. Neither had a real gimmick in the traditional sense. Paige's "Anti-Diva" gimmick was more of a phrase than something concrete while Neville's "Man that Gravity Forgot" wasn't just him being NXT's version of Kofi.
On paper, the Ascension should do well with their debut period just because how predictable the WWE is with tag team booking and new teams.
Looking back, the Wyatt Family seems to be the only ones who transitioned well between NXT to the main roster and didn't fall victim to Creative's incompetence. Not counting the Shield since the group didn't exist prior in NXT and their success was more of them fighting Creative's ideas if Ambrose story is correct.
