Former WWE Star’s Return Is Imminent
Enzo Amore is expected to return to WWE on the NXT brand soon, with Dave Meltzer reporting in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the plan is imminent. The status of his former tag team partner Big Bill remains far less clear.
Meltzer laid out what is and is not known about each man.
"The current plan has Enzo Amore to be in NXT soon. Nothing on Big Bill, the former Big Cass, is official or even talked about heavily in the company, but outside the company there is a lot of talk. It’s a Jericho situation where you go with the idea he’s off television for a long time with a contract coming due so he’s possibly leaving. In most cases that’s correct, but Jericho also showed you can’t say 100 percent. And Hobbs showed even if they are being kept on television and are holding a title and having big matches, you can’t say they are 100 percent staying either."
False Finish previously reported that Amore was spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando ahead of the May 19 episode of NXT. Fightful Select has noted that Amore’s independent booking schedule had grown lighter, and that Big Bill’s AEW contract was expected to expire within the coming weeks.
Amore, 39, was fired by WWE in January 2018 following sexual assault allegations. The Phoenix Police Department closed the case with no charges filed. He continued wrestling under the names nZo and Real1, making appearances for MLW, GCW, TNA, and various independent promotions.
Amore and Big Cass debuted on Raw on April 4, 2016, the night after WrestleMania 32, and were immediately received as main roster stars before their eventual split in 2017.
