In an update, the Mighty Mouse inspired gimmick is the current plan for Neville but he will not be wearing any kind of Mouse suit and the character was described as more similar to the late former WWE Hardcore Champion Crash Holly.

In a trivia note, when the late Chris Candido first came to WWE in the mid-1990's, WWE wanted to give him a similar gimmick inspired by Mighty Mouse. They even had a costume made up but ended up putting Candido in The Bodydonnas team instead.

Regarding Neville, there is no call-up date set but they are looking at bringing him to the main roster this spring. WWE still has a few more matches they want to do with Neville in NXT.
