WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Oct 16)

9. Enzo Amore: Pro Wrestler

Last week, former Cruiserweight Champion Neville abruptly departed the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis after learning that his role that night was again to look at the lights for Enzo Amore as part of 'Muscles Marinara's trek to Tables, Ladders and Chairs with Cruiserweight comeback kid Kalisto.

As viewers saw, plans changed profoundly, with 'The King Of Flight' unseating Enzo at the first attempt to cap off the broadcast in a move that looked as much a cynical punishment of Amore as a broad-minded booking decision.

The change was possibly as good as a rest.

This week, astonishingly, brilliant pr*ck heel Enzo Amore was just allowed to be a brilliant pr*ck heel. Delivering lines with typical swagger, he tore into Kalisto verbally before setting his new pack of dogs on the Champion to presumably set the wheels in motion for a Cruiserweight Survivor Series match next month.

Doing his bidding, Noam Dar, Drew Gulak, Tony Nese and Ariya Daivari delivered a beating to Kalisto before being briefly held off by Mustafa Ali. The baddies struck again though, leaving the heroes for dead in yet another Cruiserweight segment that fans actually responded to. Pro wrestling without politics - who'd have thought that might just be entertaining?
