Big Bill confirmed leaving AEW as WWE plans his return

All Elite Wrestling has removed former tag team champion Big Bill from its official roster, a move typically indicating a talent’s departure. The wrestler, who joined AEW in 2022 and won the AEW World Tag Team Championship with Ricky Starks, has not appeared on television since February.

WWE subsequently aired a promotional vignette on Raw that teases the comeback of the performer under his former WWE moniker, Big Cass, with a suggested appearance date of August 3, 2026. No official contract details have been released by either promotion.

In related commentary, former tag partner Enzo Amore described Big Bill as “my best buddy… He's my brother,” emphasizing the personal connection behind the on‑screen partnership.
