All 21 NXT-To-WWE Call-Ups - Ranked From Worst to Best
4. Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady
Enzo and Big Cass had such a strange journey in NXT. Even though they were NXT’s most popular tag team, they could never seem to win the big one. Even with all the fan goodwill in the world, they always seemed to choke. Basically, Sami Zayn: the tag team.
Except Sami eventually self-actualized and became NXT Champion, while the Realest Guys never made it to the top of the mountain.
If that track record made anyone doubt that Enzo and Cass could take the ball and run with it when the time was finally right, the Realest Guys proved those doubters wrong the night after WrestleMania 32.
Enzo and Cass had a phenomenal debut performance, confronting the Dudley Boyz and looking like huge stars (that take meteor showers). Enzo in particular was HOT FIRE, showcasing his inimitable personal charisma and tearing the Dudleyz to shreds on the mic.
Call me a fanboy - and yes, I've been with them since Cass filmed their promos on his phone - but this felt almost like Chris Jericho’s initial Y2J appearance.
Sure, they didn't have a match, but wouldn't you rather watch Enzo Amore threaten people with aggressive board game metaphors than execute a standing switch?
