Big Bill Gives AEW Notice, WWE Reunion With Enzo Amore Reportedly In The Works

Big Bill — the former WWE Superstar known as Big Cass — has informed AEW that he will be departing the promotion when his contract expires within the next week, with plans in place for him to return to WWE and reunite with longtime partner Enzo Amore.

The potential reunion has been in motion for some time. Reports circulated weeks ago that WWE was looking to rebuild its tag team divisions following a wave of releases that thinned out the ranks considerably, and the Enzo-and-Cass pairing was identified as one of the teams the company wanted to bring back. However, WWE held off on officially signing Amore — who has been working the independent scene in recent years — until it was certain that Big Bill would also be coming in. The concern was straightforward: the company didn’t want to find itself with one half of the team and no clear path to reuniting them.

Now that Big Bill has officially given his notice, those plans appear to be moving forward in earnest.

The two originally built their names together in NXT before moving to the main roster, where they became one of the more organically over acts of that era. WWE split them up in 2017 in an attempt to establish Big Cass as a singles star — a push that didn’t take hold, partly due to personal struggles Cass has since spoken openly about overcoming. In the years since, he resurfaced in AEW as Big Bill, putting together a solid run that included a Tag Team Title reign alongside Ricky Starks.

Amore, meanwhile, has remained a polarizing but undeniably recognizable figure. His personality was a massive driver of their act’s popularity, and there figures to be genuine nostalgia heat when the two step back into a WWE ring together. Whether that excitement translates into a sustained push will depend heavily on how the duo are positioned and how well they adapt to the current product.

For now, all signs point to WWE getting its wish: both men, together, under one roof again.
