There was a time when the name Enzo Amore carried real weight in professional wrestling, and he was a legitimate star on the rise in WWE. His run with Big Cass in NXT and up to the main roster sure made it seem like the world was at his feet.
Then it all came crashing down following a police investigation into sexual assault allegations against him. No charges were filed, and word was that his release came because he hadn’t informed the company about the incident that led to the allegations. Rumors
of “backstage heat” buzzed around for a while, and his attempts to gain publicity for his music career by crashing WWE shows and other embarrassing public incidents involving him seemed to be confirmation of those rumors.
After some time away, however, he took to the independent scene and there hasn’t been much negative press ever since. He’s got his way about him, sure, and there hasn’t been much interest from the larger promotions but he’s kept plugging along. Now, it seems, that plugging along could be paying off.
According to False Finish, Amore was spotted at the WWE Performance Center recently and he was even there before this week’s episode of NXT television. All on its own that would be interesting enough but Fightful Select reminds us that Big Bill’s contract with AEW is coming up soon. It wasn’t all that long ago that Bill was putting Enzo over as a guy he loves that he hopes gets another shot.
Is it finally time for WWE to bring them back?
Stay tuned.
