Former WWE star reportedly at Performance Center before NXT

Posted on by Jake Skudder

Former WWE star Enzo Amore was reportedly at the Performance Center yesterday ahead of the NXT broadcast on the CW Network.

According to a new report from False Finish: “False Finish has learned that former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore has been at the WWE Performance Center recently and was there yesterday ahead of #WWENXT“

Amore was originally suspended from WWE on January 22, 2018, due to sexual assault allegations and then subsequently released on January 23, 2018, with the WWE website reporting: “WWE has come to terms on the release of Eric Arndt (Enzo Amore).“

For context, the sexual assault case against Enzo Amore closed with no charges filed. A representative for the Phoenix Police Department stated, “The case has been investigated to its fullest extent, while working with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. The case has been closed. This would not preclude the case from reopening, should new evidence come to light.”

Could Enzo Amore and Big Cass return to WWE?

Intriguingly, Fightful Select reportedly back in April that there was the belief Big Bill’s AEW contract was coming up at the end of May or the start of June. There was no news on contract negotiations or the chances of his returning.

The former AEW World Tag Team Champion hasn’t been in the promotion since an eight-man February parking lot street fight on Collision, one of just two AEW matches he’s had this calendar year.

With Big Bill/Big Cass potentially back on the free agent market soon and Enzo Amore free to sign anywhere (as far as we believe), there’s a very good chance we see them back in WWE at some point.

NXT Tampa, FL, live results: Austin Aries, Enzo & Cass & Tough Enough Josh debuts!

Posted on by JJ Williams

I am live in Tampa tonight where they’re expecting approximately 450 people.

– Asuka and Liv Morgan beat Mandy Rose and Daria

Daria and Liv took turns working over Liv with a lot of basic mat work, headlocks and armbars, all leading to the hot tag for Asuka. Asuka ran wild, knocking Mandy off the apron, transitioning an arm bar into the Asuka Lock for the win.

– Dylan Miley beat Bronson Mathews

The former Tough Enough Josh made his in-ring debut. Big diving headbutt from Miley for the win. Short strong guy match here.

– Levis Valenzuela beat Elias Samson

Pre-match, Samson barely got his song out due to vicious heat from the crowd: “You Need Lessons” “Your Song Sucks” “Drift Away” chants. He attempted to mock the town but Levis made his entrance. Match was a lot of headlocks and control by The Drifter. Levis made a comeback and hit some big axe handles and hit his windup punch finish for a big win.

– Patrick Clark and Kenneth Crawford beat Blake and Murphy

BAMF was without Alexa Bliss. They took control early, cutting off the ring and working over Kenneth. Patrick took the hot tag and did some amazing drop kicks and midsection kicks. Blake & Murphy tried to cheat and run distraction yet Patrick got a flash pin roll up on Blake for the surprise win.

– Austin Aries beat Steve Cutler

Aries began with a promo. He says he’s prepared for Baron Corbin in Dallas and is proud to be here in Tampa. Cutler interrupts him and says he’s been here for two years.Showcase match for Aries who hit a dive to the outside, his spinning elbow, and the win.

– Mojo Rawley beat Chris Girard

Girard hit variations of his uppercut throughout this match, Mojo would try to taunt him yet get caught up fighting rather than goofing around. Girard worked a chinlock and Mojo fought out of it, got hyped up and ran wild before scoring the win with his shoulder blocks, and front slam.

– Apollo Crews beat Angelo Dawkins

The usual Dawkins jawjacking, taunting Apollo, and talking about the Curse Of Greatness. Apollo was able to get Angelo’s headband at one point which upset Dawkins greatly. Apollo for the win and celebrated with the fans.

– Enzo and Cass beat The Vaudevillains

Pre-match promo with Enzo and Cass saying it is good to be back in Tampa and they aren’t happy with the results of Roadblock. They challenged anyone who wanted a match and out came the Vauds. Good match here with Enzo and Cass each getting the shine early on. The heels used distractions and cheating to take the advantage behind the ref’s back to work over Enzo.

After a long beating by the heels on Enzo, he was able to get the hot tag to Cass who ran wild with big slams and clotheslines. He hit a Stinger Splash and big boot for a near fall. Enzo kicked out of a big powerbomb late. Cass cleared house and Enzo got the splash and pin for the win.

WWE books NXT tag title match for Roadblock Network special

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

On tonight’s episode of NXT on WWE Network, it was announced that NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder) will defend their titles against Enzo Amore & Big Cass on Saturday, March 12th at the Roadblock Network show from Toronto, Canada.

The match had been rumored for a few weeks, and would be the main roster major show debut for both teams. (Enzo and Cass have been appearing on WWE house shows recently.)

The two teams have wrestled numerous times and done a number of angles with the latest being a parking lot attack by Dash & Dawson that aired last week on NXT television. Dash and Dawson have held the titles since October when they beat the Vaudevillians to become the company’s eighth tag team champions.

The Roadblock show will be headlined by WWE Champion HHH vs. Dean Ambrose, and will be the company’s final major show before Wrestlemania weekend which also features a big Friday night NXT Takeover show in Dallas, TX.
