I think they still have hopes of Kalisto being the "next Rey Mysterio" and so they wanted him to purposely be away from the cruiserweights.

Once they had decided Rey was "above" the cruiserweight division, he never interacted with that division again. The only difference is he was still on the same show as them. They couldn't move Rey off of SmackDown because it was a priority to have Hispanic stars on that brand, so instead he just ignored the division altogether for three years before the belt folded.

Now that the Hispanic audience thing isn't a priority with SmackDown being on the same network as Raw - they just thought it'd be easier to have Kalisto on a different show.

Problem is, while I think he's really good - being in high flying matches is clearly the best use of his talents. He's been getting his ass handed to him by Baron Corbin for months. Where is he supposed to go now?
