# Big Cass returns to WWE Raw, Enzo Amore talks continue > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/wwe-mulls-enzo-amores-return-and-potential-tagteam-reunion-with-big-bill > Updated: 2026-08-06T03:40:53.000Z. Sources: 32. Developments: 13. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-06: Big Cass returns to WWE Raw as heel, promo critiqued by Bully Ray Big Cass returned to WWE Raw as a heel, attacking Je’Von Evans and giving a backstage promo that Hall‑of‑Famer Bully Ray called classic but lacking the star’s old catch‑phrases. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/big-cass-returns-to-wwe-raw-as-heel-promo-critiqued-by-bully-ray ### 2026-08-02: WWE weighs return of Enzo Amore, Big Cass and Lil Yachty contract talks WWE met with Enzo Amore after Big Cass’s RAW return, with no deal yet, while contract talks continue for rapper Lil Yachty, highlighting the company's varied celebrity talent decisions. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-weighs-return-of-enzo-amore-big-cass-and-lil-yachty-contract-talks ### 2026-07-21: WWE Plans Redemption Story for Returning Wrestler Big Cass WWE’s July 20 RAW vignette recaps Big Cass’s 2018 release and personal struggles, positioning his return as a redemption story slated for August 3 RAW. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-plans-redemption-story-for-returning-wrestler-big-cass ### 2026-07-14: Big Cass to Return to WWE Raw on August 3 Big Cass is slated to return to WWE Raw on August 3, with a promo hinting at a possible Enzo Amore reunion and reasons tied to mid‑card depth and renewed spotlight. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/big-cass-to-return-to-wwe-raw-on-august-3 ### 2026-07-14: Big Bill confirmed leaving AEW as WWE plans his return Big Bill has been removed from AEW’s roster as WWE teases his return under the Big Cass name, with a possible August 2026 debut. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/big-bill-confirmed-leaving-aew-as-wwe-plans-his-return ### 2026-07-04: Big Cass to exit AEW, heads toward WWE reunion with Enzo Amore Dave Meltzer says Big Cass has left AEW and is likely heading to WWE for a reunion with former partner Enzo Amore. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/big-cass-to-exit-aew-heads-toward-wwe-reunion-with-enzo-amore ### 2026-06-30: WWE Signs Big Cass for Return After AEW Stint Big Cass (William Morrissey) is leaving AEW as his contract ends and will re‑join WWE, potentially alongside Enzo Amore, after previous issues led to his 2018 release. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/wwe-signs-big-cass-for-return-after-aew-stint ### 2026-06-24: Enzo Amore Says Reunion with Big Cass Remains Unconfirmed Enzo Amore told Emilio Sparks he isn’t the booker and has not confirmed a reunion with Big Cass, but stressed their strong friendship and that any tag‑team return depends on WWE’s creative decisions. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/enzo-amore-says-reunion-with-big-cass-remains-unconfirmed ### 2026-06-23: Enzo Amore credits John Cena encounter for launch of WWE career Enzo Amore says a backstage chat with John Cena propelled him from a marginal recruit to a key NXT tag team with Big Cass. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/enzo-amore-credits-john-cena-encounter-for-launch-of-wwe-career ### 2026-05-31: Former WWE Stars Return to Independent Promotions After Post‑WrestleMania Cuts After cutting over 30 wrestlers post‑WrestleMania, WWE sees former talent Enzo Amore spotted at NXT's Performance Center and former women’s tag champion Kay Lee Ray teased for a June 5 EVE event in London. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/former-wwe-stars-return-to-independent-promotions-after-postwrestlemania-cuts ### 2026-05-29: Enzo Amore poised for WWE NXT return as his 'SAWFT' catchphrase gains renewed attention Enzo Amore, creator of the “SAWFT” chant, is expected to return to WWE's NXT brand, though his former partner's future is unclear. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/enzo-amore-poised-for-wwe-nxt-return-as-his-sawft-catchphrase-gains-renewed-attention ### 2026-05-24: Enzo Amore and Big Cass Rumored to Rejoin WWE Enzo Amore and Big Cass are rumored to return to WWE as a tag team after Enzo's recent Performance Center visit and Big Bill's pending AEW contract expiry. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/enzo-amore-and-big-cass-rumored-to-rejoin-wwe ### 2026-05-20: WWE Exploring Reunion of Enzo Amore and Big Cass WWE is reportedly interested in reuniting former tag team partners Enzo Amore and Big Cass, after Enzo was seen at the Performance Center and Big Cass’s AEW contract nears its end. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/enzo-amore-spotted-at-wwe-performance-center-prompting-return-speculation --- Cite as: Big Cass returns to WWE Raw, Enzo Amore talks continue.
