Former WWE star Big Cass was released from WWE in 2018. Since then he has been performing on the Independent Circuit occasionally. He was given a few new names on the indies and he was quite good so far.
But he became addicted to alcohol which really caused a lot of trouble for his career and life. He himself agreed that he was a big alcohol addict, but he is now quite immune from those habits. Big Cass thanked WWE Legend Diamond Dallas Page for helping him get out of this addiction. He also thanked his former tag team partner Enzo Amore for the same.
Big Cass To Return To WWE?
Cass recently appeared on Chris Van Vliet’s “Insight” podcast where he discussed a lot of things including how he is looking at his future goals, if he wants to come back to WWE or he wants to go to AEW. Below are some highlights;
On his future goals:
“So right now I am loving what I am doing. I get to pick my own schedule, work the shows I want to work, enjoy my time alone with my girlfriend. Tampa is a great city, we have two French Bulldogs, so spending time doing our own thing. Ultimately I want to get back to a big stage, because I have a lot of things that I didn’t accomplish in wrestling that I want to accomplish. Enzo and I, we had a good run, we were very memorable. I always want to be memorable. Being a champion to me isn’t worth as much as being super memorable.
I want to be memorable as a singles star, that’s a goal of mine. I want to prove to myself that I can do it, because there was a long time where I thought I couldn’t do it anymore. Also, keep speaking out about my story, addiction and mental health. Just help others, that’s the goal in life. I had money, fame and all this stuff, that doesn’t amount to sh*t. I get so much joy out of helping one person. So the goal in life is just to help other people.”
Does he think a WWE return is possible?
“I do. I think with time and earning people’s trust, just as I have earned my family and friend’s trust. People have to see you doing well over a certain period of time.”
On a possible future in All Elite Wrestling:
“I would love to go to AEW. I’d love to go back to WWE, go to AEW, IMPACT, New Japan, Ring of Honor, wherever. Those conversations with Gallows and Anderson have happened and it’s something I would love to do. But one day at a time is the way I take it, I don’t want to look too far into the future. If a phone call comes tonight that’s great, if it doesn’t come for another 3 – 4 months or a year, that’s fine too. I’m open to go anywhere and to have fun, and to make a name for myself.”
It was rumored that WWE had high hopes for him. It was also said that WWE wanted to build him as the new ‘Kane.’ True or not, having high hopes for Cass must not have been unbelievable. We hope he returns to full-time action soon.
