Fans who enjoyed Neville's career-defining heel run as Cruiserweight Champ will be disappointed that the Englishman has been replaced by Enzo Amore as the division's top villain. It's true that Enzo doesn't come anywhere close to Neville in-ring, but he's a mouthy heel who has recovered from stories of nuclear backstage heat to once again become valuable to WWE.

Amore is now a two-time Cruiserweight Champion. One must ponder the point of giving Kalisto the belt in the first place if he was only going to lose it weeks later at TLC though. It's no wonder the former United States Champion struggles to remain over with the core audience when he's undermined with booking like this.

Expect Enzo to go back to badmouthing the rest of the 205 Live roster. He may even be headed for a feud against Cedric Alexander. The overlooked Alexander picked up a win over Brian Kendrick in a tag match earlier in the show also featuring Rich Swann and Jack Gallagher, so it seems logical.
