WWE Payback 2017: 10 Huge Predictions You Need To Know

4. Enzo Clubbed Again

There's a troubling sense that Enzo and Cass may not be long for the world as a unit.

Despite only a year on the main roster together, Amore was frozen out of a big Raw six-man tag ostensibly to build up to the Jersey pair taking revenge on Gallows and Anderson but more likely to test the waters with Big Cass amongst the existing main eventers.

Shelving the mouthpiece in favour of the muscle isn's the first or last comparison between the duo and popular Attitude Era act the New Age Outlaws, but Road Dogg and Billy Gunn didn't have a lot of juice left in the fruit when management decided to give 'Mr Ass' his inevitable singles push in mid-1999.

Enzo and Cass are yet to snare tag team titles on the main roster (mirroring their inability to win the big match in NXT), but the chase has drawn apathy rather than suspense from crowds growing frustrated with Amore's verbal inanities. Sheer weight of output seems to have defeated the duo, with mere minutes a month on NXT dwarfed by the mammoth content creation demands of WWE that has even extended to obnoxious KFC commercials for the pair.

If he even makes it into the match, a kicking and yet another defeat seems likely for the scrappy loudmouth, with the iceberg seemingly up ahead should Vince McMahon defer to his instincts and wish to abruptly elevate another long haired big guy.
