Ex-WWE star Big Cass looks totally ripped for wrestling return after mental health struggles
Former WWE star Big Cass looks absolutely ripped and in the shape of his life after making a sensational wrestling comeback this weekend.
The towering wrestler – who stands at seven feet tall and is now working under the name CaZXL – made his return to the squared circle to the delight of fans at a Lariato Pro Wrestling event on Saturday night.
It’s said the show was being taped for IMPACT Plus, and Cass made his presence felt as he made his first public appearance since September 2019 at the independent event.
IMPACT’s Doc Gallows shared a clip of the special moment, while Cass and former tag team partner Enzo Amore – now nZo – saved Hernandez from a beatdown.
Not surprisingly, his return sparked a standing ovation from those in attendance, and it’s safe to say the huge wrestler is looking his absolute best.
According to Fightful, Cass was on form both behind the scenes and in-ring, and this appearance had been in the pipeline ‘for a few months’.
Back in September 2019, Cass stepped away from wrestling following an incident involving Joey Janela and Pat Buck at a WrestlePro event.
He apologised for what went down, and revealed his plans to get help for his personal demons while revealing how inspirational Tyson Fury has been for him.
He said in a statement: ‘I will work my absolute hardest to right the wrongs of Saturday night and apologize to Kevin Mathews, Pat Buck, Joey Janela, the entire WrestlePro locker room and all parties involved from the bottom of my heart.
‘I’m getting help from family and friends as we speak and will be getting professional help in the near future and ask all to please respect my privacy in the meantime.
‘When & if I reemerge as a public figure it will be in good faith and I hope to inspire those who struggle with the same mental health issues I do to seek the help they need.
‘If Tyson Fury can do it….so can I. Remember…I ain’t dead yet. And neither are you.’
