In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), Dave Meltzer provided some interesting news about two former WWE stars who have been contacted for a potential return to the company.
According to Meltzer, Enzo and Big Cass have been contacted by WWE about potentially joining NXT for when it moves to the USA Network.
Here is what Meltzer wrote:
WWE has been in contact with Enzo and Cass about a surprise return to be top stars on the NXT brand. We don’t know if they’ve accepted, but Cass really hasn’t done much on the indie scene and has also made it clear he wants to get back. Enzo, who really knows. He says a lot of things but his rap career isn’t exactly going anywhere and he also hasn’t done much on the indie scene, but hasn’t walked away from wrestling either. We don’t know, but the obvious speculation is either a return on the first show or, the way Vince thinks, I could see the third show being the favorite. The crowd in Orlando live would probably go nuts if this happens, and keep in mind we only know they’ve been talked to, not that they’ve accepted, but I can also see a lot of social media negativity toward Enzo in NXT as a featured star. But it’s a war and you want surprises and there just aren’t that many surprises out there.
My Take: Everyone deserves a second chance, so I don’t think it would be the worst idea. Cass looks absolutely ripped and seems to be doing much better on a personal basis. Enzo is a wildcard but nobody can deny that he was great on the microphone. It will be interesting to see if that happens.
