Big Cass was booked to face former tag team partner Enzo Amore in a Brooklyn Street Fight on last night's WWE Raw. The pattern of their feud so far would suggest complete destruction for Enzo, but the match was abruptly called off when the seven-footer hurt his knee after tumbling over the top rope.

The injury has now been confirmed on WWE.com, with ringside physician Dr. Chris Robinson stating that Cass will head for an MRI later today. He was filmed using crutches after the match, and it would appear that the injury is legitimate, rather than part of the storyline.

Amore vs. Cass was effectively set up by events from SummerSlam on Sunday. With Cass facing Big Show, Enzo broke out of a shark cage suspended above the ring, but ate a big boot from his former partner. He challenged Cass to Street Fight the following day, and the bout was made for Raw.

The contest was abandoned when a visibly limping Cass' leg gave out while attempting to perform his Empire Elbow finisher, and Enzo was declared the winner by default. The full sequence can be viewed in the clip below:-
