After almost nine years away from WWE, Enzo Amore is reportedly now back under contract and set for a return to the NXT brand.
This rumored creative direction is one that will certainly be a bit contentious given that Amore’s former tag team partner Big Cass is on his own over on Raw, but there are plenty of positives to it from WWE’s perspective.
With NXT losing a lot of its talent to the main roster this year, Amore would add depth to the roster, experience to the locker room and also put a lot of extra eyes on the brand.
But how will Amore make his return? What plans will Shawn Michaels have in store for the former Cruiserweight Champion? Lets explore three potential options:
Targets first championship win in WWE NXT
Given that Enzo Amore failed to capture gold during his first stint in WWE NXT, it probably makes sense to start there when it comes to this second run on the brand.
Both men’s singles championships are currently held by heels, with Grayson Waller reigning as NXT Champion and Jackson Drake the NXT North American Title. Both men also need new challengers, with Grayson Waller besting Tony D’Angelo and CM Punk in recent weeks, while Drake defeated EK Prosper two weeks ago in his most recent defense.
Slotting Amore into title contention immediately would not only give either champion a high profile feud heading into the final PLE of the year (TLC), it would also immediately establish Amore as a more legitimate competitor than he was booked to be during his first run in the company.
Helps Zilla Fatu combat BirthRight
Over the past few months Zilla Fatu has been combatting BirthRight alone, and has, quite frankly been doing a pretty great job. With wins over Lexis King and Charlie Dempsey to his name and one eye now looking ahead towards the John Cena Classic on December 14, Fatu may be done with BirthRight for good.
If BirthRight want to come across like a threat, they should probably have another attempt at taking out Fatu – using their numbers advantage to take out “The Main One.”
Thankfully for Zilla, he could find some help in the form of Enzo Amore. The pair have history with one another through Westside Gunn’s 4th Rope promotion, and even teamed together during the TNA Slammiversary 2025 pre-show alongside MLW World Champion Josh Bishop.
Reunites with Big Cass in NXT
Rather than returning alone, or forming a new alliance, the ideal option in the opinion of most WWE fans is a Enzo and Big Cass reunion.
The pair were massively over together a decade ago, and there has always felt like there’s unfinished business for them in WWE as a tag team.
While the main roster would be a more fitting stage for a reunion, we could potentially see it happen in NXT depending on how long WWE wants to keep Amore on the brand.
