WWE News: Big Cass appears at WWE event ahead of Road to Wrestlemania

What’s the story?

Big Cass appeared at a recent WWE event ahead of the commencement of the Road to Wrestlemania.

Cass was apparently able to stand and move around without the crutches he’d been using over the past several months. As a consequence, his appearance has given rise to speculation about his in-ring return coming earlier than initially expected.

In case you didn’t know…

Big Cass was due for a huge push on the WWE’s RAW brand, however, the seven-footer suffered a knee injury during a ‘Brooklyn Street-fight’ with Enzo Amore in August of last year.

Cass has been dealing with a torn ACL ever since, and it was revealed that he’d be out of action for no less than 9 months — likely missing Wrestlemania 34.

The heart of the matter

The WWE recently kicked off the Wrestlemania Reading Challenge in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Several WWE Superstars and personalities including Dana Warrior, Mandy Rose, NXT Women’s Champion Ember Moon, No Way Jose & Big Cass partook in the Challenge by reading to more than 300 students for National Reading Day.

The professional wrestling community has been abuzz regarding Big Cass’ appearance at the event, with onlookers noting that his mobility seemed to be much better than it was a few weeks ago. Fans can check out a few photographs of the event below.

What’s next?

The vast majority of professional wrestling experts believed that Big Cass’ in-ring return may come to fruition only after Wrestlemania 34.

Nevertheless, after his aforementioned public appearance, Cass is expected to return sooner than that timeline; and fans can look for further details on his physical status to unravel over the next few days.

Author’s take

Big Cass is an excellent performer and moves incredibly well for a man his size. It’s great to see him recover speedily. The development does indeed indicate that the giant is likely to perform at Wrestlemania this year.
