Despite his choice of attire for the night (and unfortunately for many of his colleagues and a large portion of the fanbase), Enzo Amoré's name doesn't require utterance in triplicate for him to appear and cause unwanted mayhem and chaos. It doesn't even require a mention - the 'Smacktalker Skywalker' will take care of his own lot.

Trapped in backwards-facing push as a 'punished' main roster star relegated to the Cruiserweight Division, Enzo has at least provided the 'King Of The Cruiserweights' with an intra-contest storyline to sink his teeth into away from the increasingly repetitive battles with the best of the rest on 205 Live.

Paying homage to Eddie Guerrero in an acknowledgment that he simply can't compete physically with the division's best and brightest, Enzo has taken to lying, cheating and stealing his way up the card, and did in all three during No Mercy's unexceptional toilet break encounter.

Dominant throughout, Neville had little concern until Enzo stole the Cruiserweight Title to delay a count-out, before hoofing the Champion in the plums as the referee returned the belt. Fans online collectively raged, but the tale told made all the sense in the world.

It's hard now to see the demotion as some sort of penance. Subject to perhaps the tightest writing he's experienced on the main roster, Enzo now also has a title and some brand new defined characteristics. His tenacity at this point simply has to be applauded.
