Kalisto vs. Alberto Del Rio Announced for WWE Fastlane 2016

Danny WebsterFeb 1, 2016

It'll be Alberto Del Rio vs. Kalisto IV at Fastlane.

WWE announced on Twitter that Del Rio will face Kalisto once again for the United States Championship at Fastlane in Cleveland on Feb. 21.

Kalisto won his first U.S. Championship on Jan. 11 against Del Rio on Raw. On the ensuing SmackDown three days later, Del Rio won back the championship with help from the League of Nations. Kalisto won the rubber match at the Royal Rumble.

Chris Walder of theScore summed up the announcement:

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com noted that Del Rio was not at last week's SmackDown after suffering a lower-back injury during the Royal Rumble. Now that WWE has made his next match official, though, the injury does not appear to be serious.

Having these two face each other for a fourth time in just over a month might be the worst booking decision WWE has made so far in 2016. Del Rio and Kalisto have swapped the title in the first three matches, and having Kalisto drop the belt to Del Rio just days after winning it was questionable.

The two possible outcomes are simple: Either Kalisto and Del Rio will meet for a fifth time at WrestleMania after Del Rio wins at Fastlane or Kalisto will win and finally put the rivalry to rest.

There's only so much the two can do with the rivalry in terms of storytelling.

It's time to see Kalisto work with someone else.
