However, their rivalry has really taken off over the last week because Kalisto got a shocking win over Del Rio to capture the US title on Monday Night Raw. Last night on Smackdown, Del Rio regained the US title to have the second title change of the week.
Now, these two look like they’re onto the “Royal Rumble” to settle their issue. However, WWE may have other ideas for their feud and the following teases another title match on next week’s Raw:
It was fun while it lasted. In one of the biggest upset victories in Raw’s 23-year history, Kalisto captured Alberto Del Rio’s United States Championship — a title that was reclaimed by The Essence of Excellence on SmackDown. As one might expect from the devious Del Rio, that win was ill-gotten, and had it not been for the intervening King Barrett, Kalisto would be proudly carrying the prestigious title to Raw.
Can the masked underdog contend with the machinations of The League of Nations and soon win back the title that was stolen from him? How are Del Rio and his associates conspiring to ensure that the star-spangled championship remains around the waist of “Mexico’s Greatest Export”?
