There is a rumor that Enzo and Cass are in talks with the WWE over an NXT return according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Cass has been vocal lately about wanting to return and Enzo’s rap career didn’t exactly take off. Neither men have been doing much on the Indie scene. Both men were a part of an angle in ROH and NEW.

The speculation is that the WWE would want them to return on the first two-hour NXT show or possibly on the third show. The idea is that it would get buzz and the live Orlando crowd would go nuts for their return. There is some concern that rehiring Enzo would receive some negative attention because of the way he’s conducted himself since being fired and what he was fired for. During the Survivor Series PPV in 2018, Enzo was removed from the audience for purposely causing a loud disruption that distracted several sections of the audience. Wrestlers had taken to social media soon after to vent about his behavior.

The move to hire both men is being described as an act of “war,” as NXT will be going head-to-head with AEW starting in October and WWE wants to get off on the right foot with big surprises. NXT is expected to resemble a more standard WWE show with fully scripted promos and a team of writers. More writers are expected to be added to the NXT team.

Enzo was fired from the WWE in 2018 due to sexual assault allegations that were later dropped due to insufficient evidence. Big Cass was fired months later due to poor behavior that included public intoxication and going off script more than once. Both men made their start in the WWE through NXT being the self-proclaimed “Realest Guys in the Room.”

Currently, they’re only in talks and neither side has come to an agreement. NXT will be going to two hours on the USA Network starting on September 18th from Full Sail in Orlando Florida.
