WWE fans are clearly delighted to see Enzo Amore back in action. At Payback, a nasty concussion had his eyes rolling into the back of his head, and it was unclear just how long he'd be on the injury list for. Thankfully, not too long, he's back by the side of Big Cass and raring to go.

On Monday Night Raw, Big Cass emerged victorious over Bubba Ray Dudley in a one-on-one encounter. Enzo was back on screen during the match, and the simple win set the tone for what happened on SmackDown. Enzo and Cass started cutting their usual catchphrase-laden promo, before being interrupted by The Dudley Boyz.

The babyfaces were up for a fight, but The Dudleyz claimed it would happen on the next episode of Raw. Their cowardice then allowed Cass to call them 'SAWFT'. Again, this was simple set-up for something to come, and it felt entirely natural. There's now some anticipation to see Enzo and Cass vanquish the veterans and shut their mouths.
