At the Payback pay-per-view, Neville defended his WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Austin Aries. The match went on second at the event (on the main card) and as usual, the ropes had to be changed from their normal look to the Cruiserweight purple.
It appears as if the WWE ring crew were cutting it VERY close during their makeover of the ring.. They almost didn’t get the purple tape (yes it is tape) on the ropes in time.
As you can see in the video below, Austin Aries came down to the ring with the crew still working away. Neville enters next and the crew is still working away until the very last moment. A pretty cool side-by-side view of the live audience and what was shown on the WWE Network. The WWE camera crew did a good job to hide it:

The ring crew finished up just in time and the match was able to go on. Austin Aries would win the match by disqualification, allowing Neville to retain his title.
