WWE has announced that at the upcoming Raw-exclusive TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs event, Enzo Amore will defend the Cruiserweight Championship against Kalisto, who joined the company's Cruiserweight division at the conclusion of last week's edition of Raw.
Below is WWE's official announcement:
"On the same night that he became the newest member of the Cruiserweight division, Kalisto was granted an opportunity to battle Enzo Amore for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at WWE TLC on Sunday, Oct. 22.
Enzo truly changed the Cruiserweight landscape when he captured the Cruiserweight Title from Neville at WWE No Mercy with the help of a low blow. Though his actions were underhanded, the new titleholder wasted no time returning to Raw the following night, claiming that he had single-handedly put the entire division on the map.
However, this all backfired on Enzo when the whole Cruiserweight division emerged and, despite a No Contact clause, proceeded to block The Certified G’s escape so that Neville could act on their behalf and deliver a calculated assault of pure retribution on The Realest Guy in the Room. Then, moments after Raw went off the air, the attack continued with the rest of the Cruiserweights and the raging Braun Strowman finishing the job.
As much as the WWE Universe was excited by the all-out onslaught, the actions taken by the division did not come without consequences. As a result, there wasn’t a single competitor left on that roster that was allowed to challenge the outspoken titleholder when the following week’s Raw came about.
Though, for a moment, it looked like Enzo had the last laugh, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle changed all that in an instant when he introduced the newest member of the Cruiserweight division … Kalisto! Since the masked Superstar has no part in the previous week’s onslaught, he was clear to challenge the champion. And as soon as Enzo tried to take him out with the title, the luchador showed him just how determined he was to make that opportunity count by unleashing an attack that left Enzo laying on the canvas.
Don't miss when Enzo goes head-to-head with Kalisto at WWE TLC, streaming live of the award-winning WWE Network on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 8 ET/5 PT."
