Big Cass returns to WWE Raw; talent talks continue

Overview

Following his surprise August 3, 2026, Raw debut where he attacked Je’Von Evans, Big Cass has established himself as a heel with a persona focused on “stacking bodies.” This new direction moves away from the catchphrases used during his previous run with Enzo Amore.

While Cass recently secured a victory over Evans, his in-ring performance has drawn scrutiny. Hall-of-Famer Bully Ray, while expressing personal happiness regarding the return and praising Cass’s physique, noted that the performer has yet to find his rhythm. Ray described Cass’s movement as “typical” of an old-school big man, characterizing it as “lumbering and a little plodding.”

Parallel to Cass’s return, WWE continues to evaluate talent and celebrity partnerships. Discussions regarding Enzo Amore’s potential reunion remain unresolved following a meeting with executive Lee Fitting at the NXT facility. Additionally, the company is reviewing a potential long-term agreement with rapper Lil Yachty, which could involve live-event appearances or a tag-team match, reflecting a broader strategy of integrating non-wrestling personalities into on-screen storylines.
