The past two weeks on Raw, Enzo Amore has been attacked by a mystery assailant. Big Cass, his tag team partner, has been on a bit of a rampage, looking to find the culprit. In the first week following the attack, he exclaimed he wanted Kurt Angle to locate the attacker before he did.
Another incident that points to the 7 foot tall 270 pounder, involves Corey Graves. 2 weeks ago, Corey said that he would like to shake the hand of Enzo’s attacker. A week later, Big Cass came to the commentary table and intimidated Graves before eventually, you guessed it, shaking his hand!

Enzo often runs his mouth which gets him into trouble, and Big Cass is the one to come to his rescue. This has led a lot of people to believe that Big Cass himself could be the attacker. We could well find out tonight whether this is the case.
This situation has made me anxious that they may be about to split up one of the greatest teams to grace a WWE ring this generation. It would be a terrible idea to split the charismatic duo up.
I have listed 5 reasons why this shouldn’t happen, and the first is to do with the former tag team champions.
#5 The Hardyz are due to split up
The Hardy Boyz lost the tag team championships last night to Cesaro and Sheamus in a brilliant cage match. To see the Hardyz roll back the years was excellent and showed they made the right choice by returning to the WWE.
The loss has a lot of people looking at the Hardyz as a team though as the rumour mill is whirring with the news that they could be bound for singles careers once again soon. If the Hardyz split up, the WWE will be losing a major team, a major unit and a major player in the Tag Team Championship scene.
This would be a shame in itself, but furthermore, if it does happen, then splitting up Enzo and Cass as well would severely diminish an already thin tag team division. Plus, I think an actual feud between Enzo and Cass and the Hardy Boyz is long overdue, especially if they get clearance to use their broken gimmick!
Splitting up two teams simultaneously would not really work and also create a problem for the mid-card and main event scene.

#4 The main event and the mid card are already full
We’ve just seen a Fatal 5-Way go ahead to determine the number one contender for the Universal Championship. All 5 men would have been legitimate winners, but unfortunately, only one can move forward and face The Beast. The rest are left dangling in the void of the upper mid-card with nothing much to do and no real storylines sometimes.
If Enzo and Cass were to split up, especially with the Hardyz, you would expect an even spread between mid-card and main event. Naturally, I think we’d see Jeff Hardy in the main event and Big Cass too as he has had an opportunity to become the number 1 contender for the Universal Championship.
This would mean that Enzo and Matt would go to the mid-card and that too is full at the moment. If anything, the stars that are in the mid-card are WWE Championship quality, with the likes of Dean Ambrose and The Miz making the Intercontinental Championship feel like the most important on the card.
We’ve just had a superstar shake up, so it would make no sense to send any of the men to another brand either. They should stay as a tag team as that is the division that is lagging behind.
#3 They have never held championship gold
Enzo and Cass are one of the most popular tag teams on the roster at the moment, but they have never held the tag-team championships. The belts have eluded them in recent years, and they have had limited actual success as a cohesive unit.
Even in NXT, though they competed for championship gold, they never actually made it across the finish line. It’s quite a surprising fact given how popular they actually are. I feel like they deserve a title reign after their service to the company and the waves they’ve made in their division.
I’m not sure why the WWE have not felt confident enough to put the belts on them. It’s not as though they wouldn’t be able to carry the division, and I believe it would give them a new edge as the guys with the targets on their backs, and it would be nice to see them have a tag match once in a while as it seems like months since they actually did!
This is because the WWE have already given them singles directions in the past, we weren’t interested in it as a crowd, and this just served as evidence that they’re better as a team, and a feud between them would be just as boring, which leads me to my next point.
#2 A feud between them would not be entertaining
I don’t want to see Enzo and Cass compete against each other. They are so entertaining as a team, but I think pitting them against each other would be a complete mismatch and fail on most every level.
Let’s look at it step by step. The reason they work well together is that their styles are so different. Enzo is a small, pesky hit and run type wrestler and Big Cass is the big powerhouse. Usually, matches of this nature don’t really work, and it can be hard to get behind it. It’d be like Scotty Too Hotty taking on the Big Show. Want to see that? Me neither.
Enzo is the voice of the group as I’ve touched on throughout the article. He’s certainly got the gift of the gab and is an absolute natural on the microphone. Big Cass, on the other hand, can be a bit monotone and the only reason he gets away with it is because his lines are always preceded by the Smacktalker Skywalker, Enzo himself.
Enzo would destroy Big Cass on the mic, which would kill the big man’s character and make for a weird dynamic going into their singles match. It’s easy to see that he’d be the most entertaining part of the feud, but it wouldn’t last long.
The crowd love them too much, which leads me to the final point.
#1 They are too popular!
Quite simply put, they are more over than any other tag team on the roster. They’re selling a heck of a lot of merchandise, the have an entrance that could rival the classic New Age Outlaws intro, and they are as entertaining as a talent can be in the tag team division.
They have a unique look, a unique style and it’s what makes them great. The same could be said for Too Cool, New Age Outlaws, The Acolytes, etc. These teams all had a gimmick that was not only fun but believable, and they were characters you could invest in. I still to this day know the whole New Age Outlaws speech, and I feel like this generation would do the same with Enzo and Big Cass.
The whole place pops when that all too familiar Italian-American sound blasts through the speakers. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the night they debuted. I thought the crowd might quieten down in the weeks following their main roster appearance, but they maintained that sound. We just love to see Enzo and Cass, and that alone should be reason enough not to split them up.
WWE have a habit of splitting up teams too early, and this would be no exception. It would be a bad idea, a terrible idea and would severely impact the product.
If you think that Enzo and Big Cass should split up, there’s only ONE WORD, to describe you! And I’m gonna spell. It. Out for ya! S-A-W-F-T Saaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwft!!!
But seriously WWE, keep them together.
