Big Cass has always been a Superstar with a tonne of potential. He's 7 foot tall (and you can't teach that), and a pretty decent promo to boot. He's got the look that can, in time, be used to embark on an absolutely dominant singles run. If booked right, he could be simply unstoppable.
After the split from Enzo, it did seem like Big Cass was destined for great things. However, he suffered an injury and all his momentum came to a screeching halt. With everything that happened with Enzo Amore while Cass was recovering from injury, the possibility of a reunion is also gone for good, we believe.
So, how does Big Cass make a big comeback? We cite 5 situations that can help him make a solid return to WWE.
Here are five options...
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Confronting Reigns on the RAW after WrestleMania
It is almost a certainty that Roman Reigns will defeat Brock Lesnar and stand tall as the Universal Champion at WrestleMania 34. The very next night, on the RAW after WrestleMania, things could really heat up if Cass were to return and challenge Reigns for the WWE Championship.
Cass certainly has the look and the physique to appear as a legitimate threat to Reigns. Reigns works fabulously with bigger men, as we saw during his feud with Braun Strowman. In fact, Reigns can even help Big Cass reach the next level, both in terms of perception from the WWE Universe and in-ring ability, by entering into a feud with the 7 footer.
Reigns versus Cass does not seem like the most exciting feud, however. For that reason, it ranks low on our list.
#4 Drafted to SmackDown Live, feuds with Randy Orton
Much like Roman Reigns, Randy Orton is the elder statesman of the SmackDown Live locker room right now. He's elevated superstars such as Jinder Mahal and Luke Harper by working with them. Cass could come back in the same 'legend killer' gimmick that Orton made famous. Except in this case, Randy Orton would be the legend.
Orton and Cass would be a fresh feud and certainly more exciting than anything that Orton has done recently. Cass could benefit immensely from his expertise and gain from being in a program with him. Orton is one of those performers that's supremely good, but his brilliance is often understated.
The key to this feud is that Cass would have to stand tall at the very end. This will not be difficult to achieve considering that Orton has put over superstars like Mahal, for the greater good.
Big Cass is the future and Randy Orton realizes that!
#3 Braun Strowman's WrestleMania 34 partner
What if we don't find out who Braun Strowman's partner is, until WrestleMania 34? And then, much to the shock and surprise of the WWE Universe, Big Cass strides forth and confronts Cesaro and Sheamus. We believe that the two giants can whitewash the RAW Tag Team Champions. They would make a very interesting team indeed.
In time, the two men can even feud with one another. Just the visual of these two men fighting would be like Godzilla taking on King Kong.
#2 Surprise entrant at the Greatest Royal Rumble
For those of you who are unaware, The Greatest Royal Rumble will be a pay-per-view event aired from Saudi Arabia, at the end of April. The featured attraction at this event is a 50-Man Royal Rumble. 50 men is a lot of people! Could Cass be brought back to bolster the ranks?
If Cass were to have a strong showing in this match, he would be back in the mix once again. In fact, while it is highly unlikely that he will actually win this match, a feud could stem from it. A feud that would stretch across the summer.
It may be smart to keep Cass out of the mix until the hype of WrestleMania is done and dusted. After all, the WrestleMania card is way too packed, currently.
#1 Winner of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal
While the actual WrestleMania card may be quite stacked indeed, this is a possibility we do quite like. Big Cass needs to come back with a bang! And he wins the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, his return would be absolutely perfect. Standing tall at WrestleMania certainly means a lot!
WWE will also establish him as a 'giant' in this particular way. In the world of sports entertainment, connections are everything. In a very indirect way, this would be the passing of the torch from one giant to another one.
And that concludes our 5-point countdown. What did you think of our list of names?
