Enzo Amore defeated Kalisto to become a two-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion at last night's TLC 2017 pay-per-view, pinning the former Lucha Dragon in approximately nine minutes.

There wasn't a lot to the match, with Kalisto continually working for his Salida Del Sol finisher, but failing every time. Heat was hard to come by, with the crowd struggling to engage with the action ahead of the big Tables, Ladders, and Chairs main event, though there was a short "we want Neville chant" after the first bell.

In the end, Enzo outfoxed his opponent by dragging the ring skirt inside, poking his eye while the referee's back was turned, and putting him away with the JawdunZo.

Kalisto only won the belt on the October 9th episode of Raw, when he defeated Amore in a lumberjack match. This is the latest in a long line of hotshot title changes that started with Akira Tozawa overcoming Neville in August, only for 'The King Of The Cruiserweights' to regain the belt six days later, before Enzo and Kalisto entered the fray.

We can expect the fallout from Amore's latest title win to start on tonight's Raw. Until then, brief match highlights can be viewed below:-
