Asuka Opponent, Cruiserweight Championship Match Possibly Added To WWE TLC, Updated Card

Overshadowed by one of the biggest returns possible in the reformation of The Shield, a WWE Cruiserweight Championship match was added to the upcoming WWE TLC pay-per-view...before being rescheduled.

Enzo Amore was set to make the first defense of his Cruiserweight title against former NXT Tag Team Champion Kalisto. The rest of WWE's cruiserweight division lost their opportunities at the title when they attacked Amore despite an order from WWE Raw General Manager Kurt Angle that stipulated no one could physically harm Amore.
