WWE Survivor Series 2017: 5 possible finishes for Enzo Amore vs. Kalisto

Enzo Amore left 205 Live with a face full of Kalisto's birthday cake

Enzo Amore and Kalisto will settle their differences once and for all when they meet in a match for the Cruiserweight Championship on the Survivor Series kickoff show.

Two of the biggest stars of the cruiserweight division have been feuding ever since Kalisto joined the 205 Live roster in October and quickly became the champion by defeating Enzo in the main event of Raw the following week.

His reign didn’t last long – 13 days in total – as “Smacktalker Skywalker” cheated to regain the title at the TLC pay-per-view in October, becoming a two-time Cruiserweight champion in the process.

Will Enzo be up to his old tricks again on Sunday? Or will we see the title change hands for the sixth time in three months? In this article, we look at five possible finishes to the match at Survivor Series.


#1. Neville returns, causing a no contest

Neville hasn't had a match in WWE since September

This time last month, Neville appeared to be gone from WWE. He reportedly walked out of the company after refusing to lose to Enzo Amore on Raw and he has since been edited out of the 205 Live intro.

However, a recent report from PW Insider claimed that “The King of the Cruiserweights” has had promising discussions with WWE and we could see him back on our screens before the end of the month – and maybe even before the end of this week.

If that’s true, then the former Cruiserweight champion could turn up at Survivor Series to exact some revenge on Enzo, who he lost his title to at No Mercy in September, or he could send a message to the entire division by also taking out Kalisto.

Neville showed signs of being a ‘good guy’ before his recent absence, but in his role as the dastardly Brit who cares about nobody but himself and nothing but his championship, he can never be classed as a true ‘babyface’, so don’t be surprised if we see that heel side to him when he returns.

#2. It becomes a 5-on-5 elimination match

This was the original rumour for Survivor Series

Survivor Series is a six-hour show this year, with two of those hours dedicated to the kickoff show, and so far the only match confirmed for the two-hour extravaganza is the fourth Cruiserweight Championship match in six weeks between Enzo Amore and Kalisto.

Many people only watch the kickoff show for the one or two matches that take place during the broadcast, so it seems a little odd that yet another encounter between these two is essentially all fans have to look forward to during the preamble.

Original plans reportedly called for Kalisto, Cedric Alexander, Gran Metalik, Mustafa Ali & Rich Swann to face Enzo, Ariya Daivari, Drew Gulak, Noam Dar & Tony Nese in a 5-on-5 elimination match at Survivor Series. Instead, it took place without eliminations in a nine-minute match on Raw on 23 October.

Still, given the lack of cruiserweights on the card for the PPV, don’t put it past other members of the 205 Live roster to get involved and turn this match into a 5-on-5 battle.

#3. Enzo cheats to win

Enzo doesn't often win his matches fairly

With the exception of his shock clean victory over Tyler Bate when WWE visited England earlier in November, all of Enzo Amore’s singles victories since August have come due to interference or because a referee had been distracted.

That includes both of his Cruiserweight Championship triumphs – first against Neville at No Mercy, where he used a low blow to get the win, and then against Kalisto at TLC, where he poked his opponent in the eye while the referee wasn’t looking.

The only way “Smacktalker Skywalker” is walking out of Survivor Series as champion is if he cheats again, just like he did to win the title on both occasions and just like he did when he kicked the referee into the ropes during his title defence against Kalisto on 205 Live.

Drew Gulak, a member of Enzo’s “Zo Train”, is likely to be in the champion’s corner on Sunday, so expect more shenanigans and more referee distractions when Amore and Kalisto meet again at Survivor Series.

#4. Kalisto wins clean

Kalisto is bidding to become a two-time Cruiserweight champion

Kalisto is a two-time United States champion who has previously defeated the likes of Alberto Del Rio and Ryback in title matches on PPV, so why can’t he do the same against Enzo Amore?

Until recently, the man from Mexico City hadn’t been involved in many major storylines since losing his US title to Rusev at Extreme Rules 2016, but let’s not forget that WWE thought incredibly highly of him before then.

Kalisto has had a career resurgence in the last couple of months, despite losing his title to Enzo at TLC, and another defeat in the rematch at Survivor Series would almost certainly mean he would already be out of the Cruiserweight title picture.

So, if ever there was a PPV where the former Lucha Dragon needs to win clean, it’s probably this one.

#5. New cruiserweight additions interfere

Rockstar Spud & Hideo Itami are reportedly set to join 205 Live

If rumours are to be believed, the 205 Live roster is set to undergo an almighty shake-up. Reports over the last couple of weeks suggest Rockstar Spud, formerly of Impact Wrestling, and NXT’s Hideo Itami could soon be joining the cruiserweight division.

Spud was granted his release from Impact in September and tweeted that he would be available for independent bookings on five dates in November, including the night of Survivor Series, but he has since deleted the tweet, increasing talk that he could be working for WWE that day.

As for Hideo, he was officially signed by WWE in July 2014 but injury problems have restricted one of NXT’s hottest prospects to just one main-roster appearance – the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31 – while he has not been used on NXT television since September.

If either of them appears at Survivor Series, one imagines Enzo will pick up another questionable victory, only to be confronted by his next challenger.
