I’m sure Kalisto had a different plan for his WWE run

Kalisto is another great talent taken from the independent scene. Fans who recall Samuray del Sol can testify to the incredible showman he was, long before he was a Lucha Dragon, or a transitional WWE United States Champion.
When Kalisto signed his WWE contract in 2013, he had already established himself as one of the top names in independent wrestling as Samuray del Sol. There was hope that the success he had achieved in some of the top indie promotions around the world, would simply continue on at the highest level, the WWE.
Don't get me wrong, Kalisto is not exactly getting squashed by lesser than’s on a regular basis, but he is certainly not riding a consistent wave of championship runs either.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
