Eight years ago today, Enzo Amore reflected on losing his dream role in WWE through a heartfelt social media post, accompanied by an emotional video detailing his struggles after being let go. The message seemed like a subtle appeal for a return to the company.
Enzo, who was scheduled to appear on Busted Open Radio, shared updates about his life since losing the only job he truly wanted as a WWE Superstar. He became a fan favorite during his NXT days as part of a tag team with Big Cass, gaining a lot of popularity quickly, though things took a turn for the worse. His intense pursuit of fame reportedly led to behavior that alienated fellow WWE wrestlers, which eventually resulted in his dismissal.
The video features comments from friends and family expressing disbelief that such a beloved star—who was also a strong merchandise seller—was let go because of dwindling popularity. Enzo was so disheartened that he stepped away from wrestling for two years and initially refused to return. Now, it appears he is ready to give it another shot.
The latter part of the video shows Enzo training and performing at small independent shows, seemingly aiming for a comeback. While WWE has not made any official move to rehire him, fans are picking up on hints. The big question remains: does WWE need him back, and does he deserve another chance? Opinions among fans are mixed.
One supporter wrote, “Absolutely incredible package. What happened to you was wrong. You deserve the attention.” Another added, “Enzo and Velvetine will always be among the greatest ‘should-have-been stars’ in WWE history.” Nevertheless, not all feedback has been positive. Regardless, if WWE brought Enzo back for an event like the Royal Rumble, the crowd reaction would likely be massive, with fans roaring his entrance chant.
Fan Take: Enzo Amore’s potential return sparks excitement and debate because he was a unique and charismatic presence in WWE who connected deeply with fans. His comeback could inject fresh energy into WWE storylines and moments, reminding everyone why wrestling thrives on compelling personalities.
