You almost have to feel bad for Kalisto after his latest debacle.

Last week, the luchador was discarded by Braun Strowman like a piece of trash, tossed into a Dumpster. So naturally, this week he challenged Strowman to a Dumpster match. Somewhat surprisingly, Kalisto won when he was able to knock Braun off the apron and feet-first into the bin.

And that began the demise of Kalisto, as he was beaten from pillar to post, then tossed into the Dumpster, hauled to the top of the stage and pushed off. Kalisto went from winning the match to being stretchered off.

Kalisto was basically treated like a piece of trash, an afterthought. He might have been better off toiling in obscurity on SmackDown.
