10 WWE Storylines That Were Only Good For One Moment

6. Enzo & Cass Break Up

Though it ultimately doomed their act in WWE after the fact, Big Cass' 2017 heel turn on Enzo Amore was made by his mate's ability to actually behave like a normal human being.

It was a skill that often separated him from the stoic Sports Entertainer-bots on the main roster. Though it'd go some way to alienating many colleagues and fans, it was to his benefit here - Amore somehow found a way to summon actual tears from his bug-eyed expression as Cass ripped into a friendship that had once made them one of the most popular acts in the entire company.

After building some genuine momentum following a 2016 call-up, their push seemed to collapse at the rate Amore's ego grew. Cass' rationale - Enzo was a f*cking massive pain - allegedly wasn't too great a leap from the truth either, even if those were the feelings of others rather than Cass himself.

Weeks of protracted beatdowns and a serious injury to Cass killed the bit. Nothing they managed after the original split recaptured the tear-soaked sadness in Enzo's eyes.
