W. Morrissey returns on AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Josh Nason

Months after making his surprise debut on AEW Dynamite earlier this year, W. Morrissey made his return to the show on Wednesday and appears to already have a new manager.

As The Wingmen were in the ring complaining about not being booked on the show, Morrissey’s music hit and he came out the ring, laying out all four men in short order.

That prompted Stokely Hathaway to quickly emerge from the back and give Morrissey a business card which Morrissey accepted and put in his pocket. As Tony Schiavone attempted to get an explanation afterward, an aggravated Hathaway refused to answer, backed up by Morrissey.

While still with Impact Wrestling, Morrissey made his AEW debut in May as one of MJF’s hired guns in his efforts to thwart Wardlow who was attempting to get a match with him at Double or Nothing. Wardlow got the victory and Morrissey wrapped up with Impact that same month.

Since then, he’s only wrestled once with that being a June indie match. AS of this writing, AEW has not sent out their customary #AllElite tweet that he’s been signed.

Big Cass appears at Impact Rebellion, replaces Eric Young

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Big Cass appeared on tonight’s Impact Rebellion event under a new name, filling in for Eric Young.

Cass appeared at Rebellion under the name W. Morrissey. He replaced Eric Young in a match where he teamed up with the rest of Violent by Design (Joe Doering, Rhino, and Deaner) to take on James Storm, Chris Sabin, Willie Mack, and Eddie Edwards. Morrisey picked up the win for his team, pinning Mack after hitting the East River Crossing. After the match, Morrissey continued to attack Mack as the rest of Violent by Design posed on the entrance ramp. 

Right before the match, Young said in a backstage segment he was injured and unable to compete tonight. He told someone off-camera that they were not ready for the truth, or to join Violent by Design, but they were ready for the opportunity to show who they are.

Cass has been making appearances in the independent scene since February. He had disappeared from pro wrestling following an altercation at a WrestlePro show in September 2019 where he was kicked out of the building after an altercation with Joey Janela backstage.
