JBL has shared a personal memory of the day Enzo Amore was fired from WWE in 2018, telling Something to Wrestle With Bruce Prichard listeners that he was in a backstage skit with Ron Simmons when the decision was made, and that he is pulling for an Enzo and Big Cass reunion based on the recent WWE-side reporting.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select reported this week that WWE has active interest in reuniting Enzo Amore and Big Bill (the former Big Cass), with backstage producer-level support for the move. Amore was spotted at the WWE Performance Center on Tuesday and Big Bill’s AEW contract is reportedly expiring at the end of May or the start of June.
“I think it’d be great. I was there when Enzo came in, and I saw him get over. Guy could talk, I mean, the guy has just an innate charisma about him, and he got over, he got over really well, you know. Cass did as well. I was there also the day he got fired. I was sitting there in a backstage skit, me and Ron were doing a reunion there at either Raw or SmackDown, one of the two, and Dave Kapoor came in, I believe it was Dave came and says, ‘Hey, Vince needs to see you,’ and the way he said it, I thought, ‘That guy, he’s not coming back, he’s fired.’ And I looked at Ron, Ron goes, ‘He’s not coming back,’ and I said, ‘No, he’s not.’ And sure enough, that’s when they pulled him in and let him go, because of the allegations that all turned out to be false, by the way, but they let him go, but didn’t bring him back after that. I was really surprised they didn’t after the allegations turned out to be false, but I think it’s a great time for Enzo.”
JBL specifically referenced Amore’s recent indie circuit work with Fourth Row Wrestling.
“He’s been doing great stuff with the Fourth Row. I got my numbers wrong. Fourth Row, he did a great job with those guys. Those are good guys, by the way. I like those guys, and Enzo has done a good job with them, and I think he would be a lot better now than he was, and I thought then he was very good.”
The Dave Kapoor reference is to the WWE backstage agent who was a producer during the Enzo era. The 2018 sexual assault investigation against Amore was closed by the Phoenix Police Department with no charges filed.
