Big Cass returns to WWE Raw, Enzo Amore talks continue

Overview

After a post‑WrestleMania talent reshuffle and William Morrissey’s (Big Bill) July exit from AEW, WWE confirmed his surprise Raw debut on August 3, 2026, where he attacked Je’Von Evans and positioned himself as a heel. The return was framed as a redemption arc, revisiting his 2018 release, past tag‑team success with Enzo Amore, injuries and personal struggles.

The following day, WWE executive Lee Fitting met with Enzo Amore at the NXT facility. While the discussion signaled interest in a possible reunion, no contract was secured and Amore’s future remains undecided.

Cass’s on‑air promo was critiqued by Hall‑of‑Famer Bully Ray, who praised its classic tone but noted a lack of memorable catch‑phrases, underscoring WWE’s current positioning of Cass as a straightforward heel.

Simultaneously, WWE is reviewing other celebrity talent deals, including rapper Lil Yachty, reflecting a broader assessment of non‑wrestling personalities for on‑screen and promotional roles.

The storyline continues to balance Cass’s personal redemption with the speculative prospect of reuniting the former NXT Tag Team champions.
