Lucha House Party have gone from doing precisely nothing to challenging for the Intercontinental and Tag-Team Titles. Then, last week, WWE brought Kalisto back and all seemed rosy in the Lucha garden. SO MUCH FOR THAT. They're heading for splits-ville as of this weekend.

It's always the same old story with these undercard stories.

WWE needed to do more to make people care about LCP before trying to weave this sudden break up story like it's some huge moment. It's also worrying that Kalisto appears to be ditching Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik - he's hardly a strong talker, and he's got limited appeal as a heel.

Surely it'd be better to keep these guys together and add some more meaning to their union. If they split, then WWE will have one wrestler who failed as a singles before (Kalisto) and a going-nowhere tag (Dorado and Metalik) on their hands.
