Big Bill Departing AEW, Expected to Return to WWE Alongside Enzo Amore

Big Bill is on his way back to WWE, and he could be bringing a familiar face with him. The former AEW star — known during his original WWE run as Big Cass — is departing AEW and is expected to return to WWE. Perhaps more surprising, longtime tag team partner Enzo Amore is also expected to make the journey back with him, potentially setting up a full reunion of one of wrestling’s most beloved duos.

Big Bill joined AEW in 2022 following stints on the independent circuit and in IMPACT Wrestling, having spent the intervening years rebuilding his reputation after his 2018 WWE departure. The rebuild paid off in AEW, where he found considerable success alongside Ricky Starks, the two capturing the AEW World Tag Team Championship together. He later became a fixture in Chris Jericho’s Learning Tree faction and remained a consistent presence on AEW programming throughout his tenure.

For WWE fans, the nostalgia factor here is significant. As Big Cass, he and Enzo Amore were one of NXT’s breakout acts — their chemistry, charisma, and instantly quotable catchphrases made them a genuine phenomenon before their main roster call-up. The pair challenged for the Raw Tag Team Championship and were a staple of Monday nights before splitting in 2017. Big Cass went on to a singles run highlighted by a feud with Daniel Bryan, while Enzo was released by WWE in early 2018. Since then, Enzo has competed on the independents under the name Real1 while also pursuing a music career.

If both men do return to WWE together, it would be the first time the former partners have been under the same banner since their respective exits nearly eight years ago. Whether WWE positions them as a tag team once more or pursues separate paths for each remains to be seen, but the potential for a full-on reunion gives this story real marquee appeal. Few acts from that NXT era generated the kind of crowd response Enzo and Cass did, and WWE’s roster could certainly accommodate their particular brand of entertainment.
