Enzo Amore has been reflecting on his close friendship with Big Cass, crediting his former tag team partner with playing a pivotal role in keeping him on track during the early stages of his professional wrestling career. According to Amore, Cass saved his life “a million times” as the two were finding their footing in the business.
Amore also admitted that when he first set his sights on pro wrestling, he genuinely had no idea how to even break into the industry — a candid acknowledgment of just how raw he was when he started out. It was during that formative period that Cass apparently became an anchor for him, both personally and professionally.
The two men came up together on the WWE NXT roster in the early 2010s, where they were paired as a tag team. That partnership grew into one of the more memorable acts of the NXT era, built on Amore’s rapid-fire promos and Cass’s imposing size, and eventually led them to the main roster where they became a fan-favorite duo on Raw.
The relationship between Enzo and Cass has had its share of well-documented turbulence over the years since their WWE run ended, which makes these comments all the more notable. Amore’s willingness to speak warmly about Cass and credit him with such a significant personal impact offers a window into just how tightly bonded the two were during those developmental years, whatever may have followed afterward.
