10 Most Heartbreaking WWE Moments Ever

7. Big Cass Turns On Enzo Amore

The first nail in a coffin engraved with a Big Cass and Enzo Amore nameplate from the moment the 'Smacktalker Skywalker' started infuriating anybody within spitting distance on the main roster, the seven-footer's turn on his mouthy mate was made by Amore's ability to act like a human being.

A skill that often separated him from the stoic Sports Entertainers on the main roster, Enzo was nearly as "real" as his Instagram and Twitter handles suggested, and somehow found a way to summon actual tears from his bug-eyed expression as Cass ripped into a friendship that had carried both towards touching distance of one of Vince McMahon's brass rings.

In NXT they were a phenomenally over unit that couldn't win big ones, but were one of the few acts to get as over on the main roster as they had in Full Sail - mostly down to the superlative microphone skills of Amore. Their push collapsed with the rate of acceleration Amore's ego grew, with Cass' rationale - Enzo was a f*cking massive pain - allegedly not being too great a leap from the truth.

As usual, Amore carried his big buddy over the line. Nothing they managed after the original turn found the innate sadness lodged in Enzo's tears.
