WWE TLC 2017: 8 Things WWE Got Right

6. Putting The Cruiserweight Title Back On Enzo Amore

The Cruiserweight Title is way more interesting draped over Enzo Amore's shoulder than it is wrapped around the waist of Kalisto. Enzo can do what guys like Kalisto can't: he can talk the talk, and it's not as though his matches stink the place out either. There's nobody better-equipped in WWE to hold that belt going forward.

In the absence of Neville, it was smart to put the title back on a heel who can promo. WWE's task is now building up a babyface strong enough to put Amore in his place. Kalisto wasn't that man; although enjoyable, Kalisto's matches are rarely the best on the card, and he doesn't have a strong enough connection with fans.

By contrast, people are still cheering for Enzo even when he's ripping into them for being idiots. The guy might not be the best in-ring worker on WWE's books, but he does have star quality. That side of his braggart character is true, and he's the best choice to hold the title.
