Enzo Addresses The Cruiserweight Division
Looks like @real1's got a REAL problem, because there's a NEW #Cruiserweight on #205Live… and his name is @KalistoWWE!!! #RAW pic.twitter.com/aE47pFqbwv
— WWE (@WWE) October 3, 2017
As far as the entire Cruiserweight Division is concerned, they can go to hell. Any of the haters want to agree with their sentiments can go to hell too. Enzo has made 205 Live relevant again by being the Main Event two weeks in a row. The Snoozerweight Division is in the main event again. Enzo is now public enemy number one. Enzo brings up the You Deserve It Chants. Enzo says that he deserves the CruiserWeight Title. If having success is wrong, he doesn’t want to be right. He’s earned every penny. If they say talk is cheap, they never booked Enzo to speak.
His back is hurting for carrying the Cruiserweight Division. Enzo didn’t have to wait in line, he crossed the line. None of the Cruiserweight’s have zero chance at the title because last week, they put their hands on him. Enzo talked to Kurt Angle and if any of them put their hands on them, they will be fired. It’s lonely at the top. Enzo proved that he didn’t need a crutch to attack Neville.
The Entire CruiserWeight Division arrives in the ringside area. Enzo delivers a series of insults directed toward every cruiserweight that’s standing on the ring apron. Enzo tells Drew Gulak to join the commentary team with Corey Graves. Kurt Angle makes his way to the stage. Angle goes over the arrangements he made with Enzo. None of the rules apply to the newest member of the cruiserweight division. It’s Kalisto. Kalisto drops Enzo with the Spinning Heel Kick. Kalisto connects with a Spike Hurricanrana. Kalisto follows that with the Salida Del Sol.
