WWE star Big Cass appeared on The Sal Licata Show, discussing whether his previous run as a tag team with Enzo Amore made it more difficult to establish himself as a singles star in the company.
Cass said, “It definitely does, yes. because I’m coming back into WWE as a heel, right? I think we could talk about like heels and faces on your show, I’m pretty sure. I’m coming back as a heel and the last time anybody that in that viewing audience saw me, I was in one of the hottest babyface acts in the company. Top three, I would say, at that time. And you argue with a wall if you don’t agree with that. I would say at that point, we were top three babyface act in the entire company. And now I’m coming back by myself as a heel. It makes things a lot harder. You go out there as a heel and people are booing you, but you do hear people in the crowds saying the old catchphrases at me. And I think they’re doing that to get under my skin, and I think that’s their true intention, which as a heel is a good thing.”
On whether initial reports of Enzo’s return complicated things for his WWE return:
“But yes, to answer your question, it’s a lot. It makes it way more difficult than having a clean slate. Especially because when news came out of me signing with WWE, it immediately got linked to him. ‘They’re coming back together; they’re going to be running it back together.’ A lot of podcasts ran with that story, and people believed it. So then I come back on my own and some people like, ‘Wait, what?’ And so it kind of made it a little difficult, but I think so far I’ve done a pretty damn good job in the situation I’m in, getting booed out of buildings — which is really the goal.”
