The 5 Biggest Flops Since The 2016 WWE Draft

#1: Big Cass

Cass was a part of the WWE system since mid-2011

Before the draft, Enzo and Cass were touted as future stars of WWE’s “New Era.” Two years later, neither of them is with the company.

Why Big Cass is considered a flop and not Enzo is because WWE expected far more from the 7-footer. When Finn Balor had to vacate the Universal Championship, Cass was one of the four participants in the elimination match to determine the new champion.

Cass was ejected from the bout first, but the fact that he got to headline Raw alongside Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens showed that the company had high hopes for him.

When it was decided to split up the duo, Cass easily defeated Enzo. The big man would’ve moved up the card if it wasn’t for the ACL injury he suffered in the summer of 2017.

Big Cass moved to Smackdown during the 2018 Superstar Shakeup. Millions groaned when Cass interrupted Daniel Bryan’s dream match with AJ Styles on the Smackdown after WrestleMania. Out of all the feuds the returning Bryan could’ve had, the fans didn’t want to see this one. By the end of this program. WWE didn’t want to see Cass either.

Much like, his former friend Enzo, Cass annoyed staff and talent with his behaviour. While it was a scandal that ended Enzo’s run, it was a culmination of things that caused WWE to send Big Cass packing - without even wishing him the best in his future endeavours.

Looking past Cass’s supposed backstage antics, in front of the camera, he didn’t display the poise and charisma that a top guy should. His in-ring style was basic, and his promo’s as a heel were run-of-the-mill stuff.

Unlike Enzo, who’s trying to rebrand himself as a rapper – Big Cass was a pro wrestling fan growing up. He may try his hand on the indie scene when his 90-day no-compete clause runs out.

Being 7-feet tall will certainly be an asset on the indies as most wrestlers on the scene are not even close to that height. As his former partner used to say, “You can’t teach that!” but if Cass wants to make it back to WWE, he’ll have a lot to learn.
