Kalisto being written off of SmackDown this week was due to promotional commitments for the company elsewhere. The United States champion was in Mexico this week doing promotion for WWE for their shows in late August and early December.
WWE wrote Kalisto off by saying that he was injured after Rusev’s attack on RAW. He is still defending the US Title against Rusev at Extreme Rules.
