WWE Live Event Results: Hartford, Connecticut (December 28, 2017)

#5 Enzo Amore (C) vs. Kalisto (WWE Cruiserweight Championship)

The Cruiserweight title was on the line next in a match that we've grown accustomed to seeing in recent months. Just like the ones that preceded it, this one was nothing special.

WWE kept it short and had Amore go over the Luchador with the Jawdonzo. Amore drew heat at the drop of a hat as expected of him while Kalisto did his Lucha shtick in all its glory.

Amore retained over Kalisto

The battle between the two former NXT Champions was one of the matches of the night and the fans were hot for this one. The Samoan Submission Machine shut the raucous Balor Club down with a big win over the Demon King at the end of a gruelling encounter.

With the loss, Balor's losing streak against Jow continued at the live event circuit. It seems WWE is building up Joe up for an inevitable Intercontinental Championship win against the Big Dog himself.
