Former WWE star Enzo Amore has addressed an alleged altercation with Curtis Axel during their time with the company while also taking a shot at AEW over its highly publicized backstage incidents.
Speaking with Maven Huffman, Amore was asked about an alleged scuffle with Axel on a bus. Amore expressed surprise that the story was known publicly and declined to reveal specific details about what happened.
“That’s funny, man. And I never heard anybody talk about that incident ever. I didn’t know it was out there. I’m not a dick. I’m just a really good guy but you take my kindness for weakness, I immediately throw hands. So I never spoke about this, and I never really will.
Look, I had to fight for everything I got. I didn’t get where the f*ck I got being some pushover slump p*ssy b*tch. Never.
When sh*t hit the fan backstage, or when I had to go walk in a room and talk to Vince McMahon one-on-one, or I had to go talk to Hunter [Triple H] one-on-one, those conversations stayed there.
And with the boys, the same bullsh*t. If I fought—if I fist-fought another guy in the locker room, you probably never heard of it ’cause I probably f*cking won, right?
I appreciate that. What happens in the WWE locker room as far as fistfights never left.
F*ck AEW for all the p*ssy ass fighting that they do over there and letting it leak and sh*t. We are some badasses that you got to keep some credibility in that locker room.”
While Amore did not confirm the specific details surrounding the alleged incident with Axel, his comments suggested that any backstage confrontations he was involved in during his WWE run were considered private matters among the talent.
Amore also used the subject to criticize AEW over backstage fights becoming public knowledge, arguing that incidents inside a wrestling locker room should remain there.
