Big Cass had unfortunately faced the axe from WWE this year hardly two months into his return from injury. Since then, he's made it clear that his objective is to eventually return to WWE. He started afresh on the independent scene, going by a few different names. However, it doesn't seem like he's as motivated as before, a photo taken in his latest independent appearance seems to suggest. Unfortunately, it seemed as though backstage behaviour is what prevented them from getting the tag team gold. Enzo was released after some major controversy while Big Cass was on the shelf.
