Footage Of Joey Janela & Enzo Scuffle At Blink-182 Concert (Video)

As previously reported, there was an altercation between Enzo Amore and Joey Janela at a Blink-182 concert last night in New Jersey. Footage of the scuffle has since been posted online.

According to Tweets from both Janela and Enzo, Janela introduced himself to Enzo at the show and a scuffle broke out between the two.

The two never really engage during the video.

Joey Janela and Enzo Conflict In April

Shortly after Cass and Enzo invaded the G1 Supercard in MSG this April, Janela Tweeted at Enzo.

“Just saying this, straight up if @real1 wants some buzz, he can come shoot with me next year at @GCWrestling_ Bloodsport I’ll do 4-6 months of whatever MMA Training Barnett Recommends so I don’t make a fool out of his art, the way NZO makes a joke out of the wrestling business…” Janela Tweeted.

Enzo then said he’d pay for Janela’s MMA training and Janela responded that he wouldn’t want Enzo to blow the last of his money.

Joey Janela & Enzo Amore Altercation At Blink-182 Concert

Janela then said he walked up to Enzo at the Blink-182/L’il Wayne concert last night.

Enzo Amore & Joey Janela Involved In Altercation At Blink-182 Concert

It appears that Enzo Amore and Joey Janela got into a physical confrontation during a concert. Both were in attendance for last night’s blink-182 show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey.

According to their Twitter rendition, Janela attempted to introduce himself before Amore slapped Joey’s hands away, challenging him to a fight.

The two confirmed the altercation occurred, allowing the confrontation to spill over onto social media.

The Rock Show

After the event, Enzo Amore wrote the following to Joey Janela:

“I’m glad you introduced yourself cause I couldn’t pick you out of a line up. You don’t want no smoke. And now I know it, there’s only two things that smell like fish. Ones fish. @JANELABABY straight p****y.”

In response, Janela replied, “At least I said hello….”

This incited Enzo all the more, who warned him not to “try & play that wrestling s**t with me,” promising he would “end up on f*****g world star.”

“Where was that energy at? We aint friends @JANELABABY Dont introduce urself to me f***boy I thought u were a fan hahaha the second I realized it was u I slapped ya bitchass hands down & walked @ u w/ MY HANDS UP YA F******N RAN BACKWARDS & told my homey to film it ??? soft af”

Janela addressed the accusation, claiming that they had, what he called, “the s******t fist fight of the year.”

Amore, however, remembers it differently.

“Boy we didn’t have the s******t fist fight of the year, I slapped ur f*****n hands down and walked at u with mine up and u walked away and let me know all that S**t u talk IS A WORK… which is fine if I were a wrestler.”

Janela explained that, with his exclusivity deal starting in October, they won’t have an opportunity to wrestle or fight. All he wanted to do was introduce himself.

That being said, “The Bad Boy” did throw out one last challenge:

Past Heat

The two have had heated Twitter exchanges in the past, with Joey Janela accusing Enzo of making a joke out of the wrestling business.

Janela would lay down a challenge to face Amore in a shoot match at Josh Barnett’s next Bloodsport event. He even promised to do 4-6 months training so he wouldn’t “make a fool out of his art, the way NZO makes a joke out of the wrestling business…”

Enzo, in turn, offered to pay for his classes before Janela shot back, claiming he would want him to blow the last of his money.

Enzo Amore Talks About Avoiding WWE Scripted Promos

Like him or loathe him, Enzo Amore made a name for himself thanks to his notable mic skills.

Speaking on the Keeping It 100 With Konnan podcast, the former-WWE Superstar reflected on his start in pro wrestling, saying:

“I was 5 feet, 10 inches, 185 pounds, I was on a frickin’ moving truck here in New Jersey when I was discovered in a YouTube video and next thing you know I’m going to the WWE having no business, just thrown right into the fire. I don’t know how else to explain that. It’s like being taken off from the streets and being in WWE.”

“I Didn’t Ask For Permission”

Adjusting to the WWE mentality took some work for Amore. He admitted that he would go out of his way to avoid the scripted promos WWE’s creative team provided him. Instead, he would attempt to “remix” the script.

“So many times I was handed a script, and the script would change an hour into the show and I would try to remix it, and some of the writers hated that. But when Enzo Amore goes out there and goes off script and he comes back to the curtain he forgets the script,” he said.

He continued, stating that “The only person that really mattered was Vince McMahon, so I never gave a f*** about the writers. If a writer adds something terrible to the script and I wasn’t feeling it, I’m sorry bro. I didn’t ask for permission, I asked for forgiveness, and half the time I went out there and just said what I felt was better because who better than the guy that says ‘My Name is Enzo Amore’? I wrote that, and I hear everybody saying that with me.”

ROH “Invasion”

Enzo Amore and Big Cass “invaded” the ROH and NJPW co-promoted G1 Supercard show back in April. They ran in during the ending of the tag team championship matchup. The segment was met with skepticism and confusion at first, before being revealed to be a work.

It has been reported that they are already done with ROH, despite only having a singular appearance.

Enzo Amore Responds To Tama Tonga (Video)

Tama Tonga recently cut a promo on Enzo Amore and posted it to his Facebook page. He said Enzo is detrimental to the pro-wrestling business (in his own words). Enzo has responded to Tama’s comments, publishing his own promo on Twitter.

“That’s it? Using the C-Word?” Enzo said, taking issue with Tama referring to him as a “cancer” in his promo. “You little c–t, pick a better word!”

“I do what I do because it works,” he continued. “That’s why I don’t listen to nobody. Unlike you, you have to listen to so many people just to go out there through a curtain. I can just jump a guardrail beat the s**t out of people, you can watch it and do nothing and be mad at yourself.”

“Don’t be mad at me bro,” Enzo continued. “I’m just doing what I do better than anybody else in the world, ok? That’s why I do things my way. My way. It’s my way or the highway and clearly you chose the highway because whatever the f**k you’re doing isn’t working. You’re driving down the highway, you’ve had your directional on for far too long because you’re not ever getting over.”

Tama Tonga Responds To Enzo’s Response

Neither Tama Tonga nor Enzo Amore is one to let the other get the last word:

Enzo Says Tama Is Mad Because His Moment Was Over-Shadowed At G1 Supercard

Enzo didn’t waste much time in responding to Tama again:

Tama then cut the following promo from his hotel room overlooking the Tokyo Dome:

Tama Tonga Cuts A Promo On Enzo Amore (Video)

Tama Tonga took to his Facebook page recently to cut a promo on Enzo Amore. The Guerillas of Destiny had just won both the ROH and IWGP heavyweight tag team champions at the G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden when Enzo and Cass invaded the show.

Tonga’s promo can be viewed below:

https://www.facebook.com/OfficialTamaTonga/videos/vb.1759223717739075/2418484018380298/?type=2&theater

“I’ll just address you straight up, you don’t need to call out the whole locker room,” Tonga said. “It was me. It was f***** me.”

“You want to know why we ain’t letting you in?” Tonga continued. “Because you’re cancer. We don’t want that to spread in our workplace.”

“You talk about bringing in money? No, we’re talking about you killing our business.”

Tama Tonga & Tanga Loa – Double Tag Team Champions

Tama and his brothers, Tanga Loa and HIKULEO, had a chance to add the NEVER 6-Man tag team titles to their list of accolades earlier this week. They were defeated by the team of Togi Makabe, Ryusuke Taguchi, and Toru Yano, however.

The Guerillas of Destiny has two upcoming tag title matches. They will defend the IWGP heavyweight tag titles against Yano and Makabe at Wrestling Hi no Kuni 2019 in Kumamoto on April 29th. Then in ROH, the GoD will defend those titles against Jonathan Gresham and Jay Lethal on May 8th in Buffalo.

Enzo Responds To Joey Janela’s Challenge

Since invading the G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden last weekend, Enzo and Big Cass have announced they are reforming their tag team. Now known as the Free Agentz, nZo and CazXL say they aren’t signing any exclusive contracts and could potentially appear in any promotion.

One promoter/wrestler, GCW’s Joey Janela, sent a message to Enzo on Twitter. He challenged Enzo to appear on next year’s Bloodsport event:

For those unfamiliar with Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport, the annual event uses a more realistic style similar to the UWF promotion in Japan during the 1980s. Minoru Suzuki and Josh Barnett wrestled in the main event of the show this year.

Enzo posted the following to his Twitter account the next day:

Janela then issued the following response:

When asked if he actually has beef with Enzo, however, Janela stated he is just having fun.

Enzo and Big Cass Are The Free Agentz

Enzo and Cass told SI.com this week that they do not plan on signing any exclusive contracts. This would theoretically free up the pair to appear on a GCW show at some point in the future if Enzo and Janela plan on capitalizing off their online back-and-forth.

“This is the real-life NWO,” said Enzo this week to Sports Illustrated. “We are not signing any exclusivity contracts, we are not signing a non-compete. We have all the right in the world to promote ourselves shamelessly and have as much fun as we want. If fans want to see us in a ring, then let their voices be heard.”

Enzo & Big Cass: “This Is The Real-Life NWO”

Enzo and Big Cass, now collectively known as the Free Agentz, don’t plan on signing exclusivity contracts with anyone, including Ring of Honor. They made that point clear during a recent interview with SI.com.

“This is the real-life NWO,” said Enzo. “We are not signing any exclusivity contracts, we are not signing a non-compete. We have all the right in the world to promote ourselves shamelessly and have as much fun as we want. If fans want to see us in a ring, then let their voices be heard.”

nZo & CazXL are the Free Agentz

Eric Arndt (formerly known as Enzo Amore) will now officially use nZo as his ring name. William Morrissey (formerly known as Big Cass) will now use the ring name CazXL.

“Our goal is to be the top act in the entire world of pro wrestling,” nZo continued. “In the social media era, we’re the f—ing Road Warriors. We’ve got nothing else to lose, so we’re going to take it all.”

nZo had once said is pro-wrestling career was over after being released from WWE. Several things have changed since he made those statements, however, including seeing is former friend Cass suffer a seizure at a House of Hardcore show.

“It’s been well-publicized that Cass had a health scare and suffered a seizure at a House of Hardcore wrestling event,” nZo stated. “Once I saw that footage, I thought about my friend—a guy I traveled the world with and had experiences that I can’t share with any other human—and I couldn’t risk losing that forever. Pride aside, I reached out.”

What’s Next For The Free Agentz?

CazXL noted that both he and nZo have had a turbulent last couple of years.

“We’ve had our personal differences and we’ve had our professional differences, and it’s no secret that we had a falling out,” admitted Cass. “We’re both fighters, we’ve been fighting our whole lives, and we’ve especially been fighting these past two years.”

nZo noted the team plan on cashing in on their large social media following.

 “Nobody in WWE, AEW, New Japan, Ring of Honor, or Impact has been given the opportunity we’ve had,” nZo continued. “We have a social media following, a presence, and a voice despite not working for a company right now. In order to take advantage of that, we plan on doing it in ways that have never been done before.”

He also noted they have other plans in the works as well.

“We are now business owners of our brand with creative control over our work, we own our own music, artwork, and merchandise. We have a television show in the works, and I can’t wait for the world to see it.”

Enzo Amore Comments On G1 Supercard Invasion, Tanga Loa & Others Respond

Last night Enzo Amore and Big Cass made an unannounced and possibly unplanned appearance at the G1 Supercard. While the incident is being portrayed as having been a legit invasion by the two former WWE Superstars, it is being reported that the situation is a part of storyline.

Enzo commented on the G1 Supercard invasion on social media:

Host of the Pacific Rim podcast Jim Valley noted on Twitter that he believes the situation to be a work, as is the case with most who were at the event live.

None of this was shown during the broadcast on NJPW World. The camera cut to the broadcast position and then briefly to just the G1 Supercard logo. The commentary team did not mention Enzo or Big Cass by name.

Enzo Amore Hangs Outside MSG During WWE Show (Photos)

Earlier this week, the WWE held a massive house show from Madison Square Garden the day after Christmas. Several top stars appeared at the event, including Seth Rollins, John Cena, Dean Ambrose, Ronda Rousey, and more. However, just down the road, a former WWE Cruiserweight Champion was making a local appearance. Enzo Amore wasn’t too far away from the event, and did an interview session in front of fans in New York.

Shortly after Amore’s appearance, he took to the streets of New York to hang out with fans and take photos. As the WWE’s house show was going on a few feet away from him, Amore was outside MSG taking photographs with fans. Check out some photos here:

Why I Did It

During Amore’s local appearance, he revealed why he crashed the WWE’s Survivor Series pay-per-view (PPV) this past November. Apparently, his motive was to upset WWE CEO Vince McMahon:

“Why did I do it? It had nothing to do with my music. I’ll tell you why I did it – cause I knew for a fact Vince McMahon would be heated more than anything in the world – but he’d respect the f*ck out of it. That’s why I did it.

“Because it was about one person, and that was it. Because I proved to him that I could beat him at his own game of statistics and numbers, and this that and the other, and I don’t even work for your company. I broke no laws, I bought a ticket.”

What do you think about Amore hanging out near WWE’s MSG show?

Enzo Amore Explains Why He Caused Scene At Survivor Series (Video)

This past November, former WWE star Enzo Amore stole headlines when he crashed the Survivor Series pay-per-view (PPV) from the Staples Center. Amore purchased a ticket in the front rows of the show and sat there in secret for the first few matches of the night. He later got up on his chair and started to rile up the crowd, causing a scene before event security escorted him out.

Amore had recently released a song about his ex-girlfriend and WWE star Liv Morgan. Many believed it was all a publicity stunt to help promote his new music career. However, it turns out Amore had other motivations for his actions. He recently held an appearance in New York, near WWE’s Madison Square Garden show, and answered some questions. Of course, one of those questions was to explain his reasoning for his Survivor Series fiasco.

The former Cruiserweight Champion revealed that he did it because he knew it would anger Vince McMahon, and wanted to prove he could beat “The Chairman Of The Board” at his own game:

“Why did I do it? It had nothing to do with my music. I’ll tell you why I did it – cause I knew for a fact Vince McMahon would be heated more than anything in the world – but he’d respect the f*ck out of it. That’s why I did it.

“Because it was about one person, and that was it. Because I proved to him that I could beat him at his own game of statistics and numbers, and this that and the other, and I don’t even work for your company. I broke no laws, I bought a ticket.”

Update On Big Cass; Enzo Amore Reacts Upon Hearing About Cass’ Seizure

During last night’s House Of Hardcore show, which took place at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, former WWE superstar, Big Cass, suffered an unfortunate seizure. This event occurred during the show’s intermission.

Big Cass was scheduled to take part in a segment during the second half of the show with Joey Ryan. He would ultimately be replaced by the Blue Meanie.

Thankfully, according to PWInsider, by the time EMTs arrived to attend to Cass, he had come back around. He was coherent and able to speak with House Of Hardcore management whilst being attended to.

Tommy Dream took to Twitter in order to provide an update on Cass, letting people know that he had spoken with him and that he is “doing well.”

Olive Branch

The incident even caught the attention of Big Cass’ former WWE tag team partner, Enzo Amore.

Amore took to his social media in order to reach out with some words of encouragement. The two have not been on the best of terms since last year with the duo not talking to each other for the longest time.
This sad development, however, could be the catalyst that sees the two begin anew, if only as friends.

Enzo had the following to say:

He followed up with another Tweet that said: “If I had a dime for everytime one of us got knocked down & didn’t get back up….. I would have #ZeroDIMES …”

Enzo Amore Performing Concert Near WWE House Show At Madison Square Garden

When WWE goes into Madison Square Garden for a house show on December 26th, security might be advised to be on the lookout for Enzo again. Similar to what he did for WWE’s trip to the Staples Center at Survivor Series, Enzo is now promoting a live comedy & music event to be held on Broadway near MSG at 11 PM the night of WWE’s house show.

Enzo produced the following NWO style promotional video for the event, which he has titled “Nzo: Sole Survivor (The Untold Stories)”:

Enzo Amore On Broadway After WWE House Show At Madison Square Garden

WWE is running two house shows on December 26th this year. The Raw crew will be in Madison Square Garden and the Smackdown roster will head to Chicago’s Allstate Arena. The Undisputed Era, Pete Dunne, and Ricochet are also confirmed for the Madison Square Garden show.

Enzo made headlines last month on a couple of occasions. He was booted from a flight, allegedly for vaping (though he denies this). Not long after, Enzo was forcibly removed by WWE security from the Staples Center during Survivor Series. Enzo was removed from the building and reportedly has been banned from Staples Center as a result of the incident.

Enzo Amore Delivers Stone Cold Stunner At Rap Concert (Video)

Enzo Amore says he’s done with pro wrestling, but he delivered a Stone Cold Stunner on stage at a rap concert in West Hollywood, California on Monday night.

The Superstar turned rapper made headlines on Sunday by crashing WWE Survivor Series. After making a scene at ringside, he was ejected from the Staples Center and has reportedly been banned from future WWE events.

Enzo held a rap concert at legendary rock and roll venue Whisky A Go Go on Monday night – not far from where WWE Raw was being held at the Staples Center.

Enzo Amore posted a live stream of part of the show, which you can view by following this link here. In the clip below, you can see him delivering the stunner.

NZO/Real1 Rap Career

Earlier this year Enzo told Steve Austin on his podcast that he’s focussing his efforts on a new music career. “I’m literally going to set the world on fire,” Amore said on the show. “I’m going to be one of the biggest stars in music and I know it.

He partnered with World Star Hip Hop to release his first music video, “Phoenix” back in May. A second video, “Bury Me A G”, was then released the next month.

You can watch the video to “Phoenix” in the player below:

Enzo Amore Comments On Being Ejected From Survivor Series

Enzo Amore was forcibly removed by security at the Staples Center last night. The former Cruiserweight Champion crashed Survivor Series and caused a distraction during the AOP vs the Bar match before being removed. The Staples Center has since announced he is banned from all future events.

Enzo sent out the following after his ejection from the arena:

Enzo Amore Invades Survivor Series/Staples Center

The following Twitter user arguably got the best shot of Enzo’s antics from last night:

Liv Morgan sent out the following in response to Enzo’s disturbance at Survivor Series:

Real1’s Music Career

Enzo has been embarking on a music career since being released from WWE. His debut album, Rosemary’s Baby, was just released. Enzo will be throwing a live event tonight in the Los Angeles area to promote the album.

Earlier this year, Enzo told TMZ he’ll never wrestle again. “There ain’t nobody who’s got enough money to put me back in the ring, kid,” Amore said. “Not unless it’s ‘Creed 3’ dog and I’m fighting [Adonis Creed].”

He also told TMZ he is working on “a ton of television content right now” and is “sitting on a lot of interesting things right now.”

Will Ospreay Roasts Enzo Amore on Twitter

Enzo Amore caused quite a scene at Survivor Series this past Sunday. The former WWE Cruiserweight Champion appeared in the crowd and was quickly ejected by security.

Enzo was spotted ringside during the event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. He was attempting to disguise himself but WWE fans on Facebook and Twitter quickly realised it was Real1. During the Authors of Pain versus The Bar tag team match, the former NXT and WWE Superstar removed his hoodie, stood on his chair and started to make a scene.

Several stars on the independent scene have given their take but Will Ospreay may have summed it up perfectly. The British born NJPW star mused on Twitter; “Imagine you use to work at Tesco. Then you got fired from Tesco. Then you show up embarrassing yourself at Tesco. Then being kicked out of Tesco by its security team. I genuinely can’t think of anything more tragic. Maybe if you did it in front of 13,000 people on live TV.”

For context Tesco is a supermarket in the UK, along the lines of Walmart.

Enzo Amore Crashes Survivor Series, Gets Kicked Out (Video)

Former WWE Superstar made a surprise appearance at Sunday’s Survivor Series pay-per-view, but it wasn’t part of the show.

Enzo was spotted ringside during the event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. He was wearing a hoodie and appeared to be disguising himself, but fans on social media quickly recognized him. During the Authors of Pain versus The Bar tag team match, the wrestler turned rapper removed the hoodie, stood on his chair and started made a scene.

The crowd erupted as WWE cameras tried to pan away from Amore. Enzo was quickly escorted out of the Staples Center by security. There are reports that he’s been banned from future WWE events.

Just last week, the New Jersey native made headlines when he was kicked off a flight for vaping.

Below, you can see photos and videos of Enzo’s latest publicity stunt.

WWE Superstar Liv Morgan tweeted the following after the incident.

Enzo Amore Gets Booted From Flight (Video)

Enzo Amore was filmed getting kicked off a Delta flight recently before take-off. Evidently, Enzo had been vaping onboard the plane. Another passenger filmed Enzo being ejected from the flight. Naturally, the person couldn’t resist asking the former Cruiserweight Champion “how you doing?”

Enzo looked back and gave the guy a smile after he said it. TMZ posted the video which you can view in the player below:

In an update to this story, Enzo has now said he was not vaping. He explained the situation in the video below:

What is Enzo Amore Doing Now?

Enzo Amore has said he’ll never wrestle again after his release from WWE. He is now focussed on his music career. Now just going under the name Real1, Enzo has announced a big show coming up in just 3 days.

Comedy and new music is being advertised for the event.

Earlier this year, Enzo told TMZ he was working on “a ton of television content right now” and is “sitting on a lot of interesting things right now.”

Enzo has also announced his debut album will be titled “Rosemary’s Baby”. He also told TMZ there isn’t enough money in the world to get him back in a wrestling ring.

“There ain’t nobody who’s got enough money to put me back in the ring, kid,” Amore said. “Not unless it’s ‘Creed 3’ dog and I’m fighting [Adonis Creed].”

Enzo Amore Announces Post-WWE Live Performance

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore, now going by the name ‘Real 1’, continues to attempt to make a name for himself outside of the WWE world and build up his reputation as a rapper.

On Wednesday, he announced his first-ever live performance in two weeks would take place in California. He wrote the following, “I’m going-going back-back to Cali-Cali … COME  SEE ME DOG. 11.19.18. meet & greet. new merch. comedy. And… NEW MUSIC!”

Amore has gone on record by stating that he will never wrestle again due to him working on starting a hip-hop career. He has made appearances in a non-wrestling capacity at other wrestling events and released several music videos over the past few months.

Amore parted ways with the WWE after rape allegations were made against him. If you recall, the WWE was not aware of the rape allegations against Amore until January of this year once the media reached out to them for comments once the allegations went viral on Twitter.

Amore denied the allegations were true. The reason that WWE cut ties with him was over the fact that Enzo failed to notify officials that he was being investigated. It should be noted that the investigation against him has been closed and no charges were ever filed against him.

Enzo Amore Says He’ll Never Wrestle Again

Don’t expect to see Enzo Amore and Big Cass Cazz reunited on the independent scene. TMZ cameras caught up with Enzo over the weekend and asked him when we’ll be seeing him back in the ring.  He didn’t mince words.

Enzo says he will never wrestle again, no matter how much money he is offered. He plans to focus on his music and acting careers and won’t be wrestling again “in a million years.”

“There ain’t nobody who’s got enough money to put me back in the ring, kid. Not unless it’s ‘Creed 3’ dog and I’m fighting [Adonis Creed].”

Enzo, now known as Real1, says he’s tirelessly working on a rap album. The album, which does not have a release date yet, will be titled, “Rosemary’s Baby.” He claims it will feature some big cameos. Enzo Amore released two rap music videos earlier this year.

Check out Enzo Amore telling TMZ he won’t be wrestling anymore:

Cedric Alexander Calls Neville A “Quitter”

Reigning WWE Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander has taken a shot at the former champ, Neville. Alexander was responding to comments beneath the video he posted below when the topic of Neville came up.

https://twitter.com/CedricAlexander/status/1023030448958722049?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Cedric Alexander Shades “Quitter” Neville

Neville reportedly had a falling out with WWE last October, however Cedric Alexander has deemed the former King of the Cruiserweights a “quitter.”

Alexander then responded back that the fan had spelled “quitter” wrong.

https://twitter.com/CedricAlexander/status/1023077604839096321

Alexander doubled-down on his comments when someone defended Neville.

https://twitter.com/CedricAlexander/status/1023100240159813632

Alexander would continue to defend his status against that of the former champ.

https://twitter.com/CedricAlexander/status/1023199343120142336

Finally, Alexander seemed to give up on the conversation and just suggested some of the fans go back to their regularly scheduled activities.

Neville’s WWE Status

There have been no updates as to Neville’s status with WWE. The last anyone saw of him he had returned to the UK where he was spotted at the Mid Breath Gym on July 10th, 2018.

The last match he wrestled for the company was on October 1st, 2017. He defeated Enzo Amore on a house show via DQ in a match for the Cruiserweight Championship that night.

Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander vs Former Cruiserweight Champions

This isn’t the first time Cedric Alexander has taken a shot at a departed champion on Twitter. During a back-and-forth with Lio Rush, Alexander took a shot at Enzo Amore as well.

“This coming from the kid who wants to be a fake rapper,” Alexander Tweeted at Lio Rush. “We had one of those on 205Live. You wanna end up like him? I suggest you watch your mouth youngster.”

Alexander won the Cruiserweight Championship following a 16-man single-elimination tournament earlier this year. The tournament was scheduled by 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick following the title being vacated when Enzo Amore was released by the company.

Cody Rhodes Rules Out Enzo Amore Appearing At All In

Fans who plan on attending the All In event will not have to speculate if Enzo Amore will be making a surprise appearance because Cody Rhodes has set the record straight.

Rhodes and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) will present the event on September 1st at the Sears Centre in near Chicago, Illinois.

The former ROH World Champion recently conducted a Q&A session with fans on his official Twitter account, which led to a fan who was very persistent about the idea of the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion potentially appearing at this event.

Rhodes made it clear that Amore won’t be appearing as he wrote, “He’s not part of the show. 100%” and “No need to wait. I’m telling you now.”

Although Amore is focused on his rap career these days, he still plans to take indie booking for wrestling events. Amore parted ways with the WWE after rape allegations were made against him. If you recall, the WWE was not aware of the rape allegations against Amore until January of this year once the media reached out to them for comments once the allegations went viral on Twitter.

Amore denied the allegations were true. The reason that WWE cut ties with him is not due to an internal belief that Enzo was guilty, but over the fact that Enzo failed to notify officials that he was being investigated. It should be noted that the investigation against him has been closed and no charges were ever filed against him.

Phoenix Police Release Enzo Amore Investigation Report

With Enzo telling his side of the story on Steve Austin’s podcast, it seems fit for the Phoenix Police to release the report of the Rape Allegation case.

Police Report Details

Pro Wrestling Sheets has released the police report on Enzo Amore and here are the details:

According to the report, the Police investigation began on October 23, 2017, and was not made known to Amore at all. The report goes as follows:

Amore went on the record to state that he found out about the investigation as the world did and was first suspended than followed with a release from the WWE.

With the case behind Amore, the Certified G began seeking out other careers opportunities and has announced to be producing music and writing scripts for Hollywood.

Enzo Amore Reveals If WWE Has Contacted Him Since Release

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore recently joined WWE Hall Of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin’s podcast, The Steve Austin Show, to talk about his release from WWE.

Amore was released from the company back in January after some sexual assault allegations were made against him. The charges have since been dropped and Amore is focusing on his rap career going by the name “Real1.”

During the podcast Amore was asked by Austin if anyone from WWE has tried to contact him since his release. He revealed he didn’t know as he blocked WWE’s number and is currently nursing injuries from his in-ring career:

“I couldn’t tell you [if WWE has tried reaching out]. I blocked every number that had 203 in it. Straight up. I couldn’t go back anyway. I have sciatica. I can’t walk, bro. I can’t do things physically that I once can do. Getting to the end there heading to WrestleMania, I was saying to myself that I wasn’t sure that I could make it to WrestleMania, I wasn’t even sure that I could make it to the Royal Rumble,” he said.

“I was so beat up but I kayfabed the s–t out of it. I don’t want to go back anytime soon. I need my body to recover. I am not healthy right now physically. I can’t touch my toes. I used to be able to. I was putting off so many things and burning the candle until the end. When I was a heel and had that title I was going hard. I was showing up to work. I had a few nights that I didn’t have any nights of sleep, but you just couldn’t see it on camera.”

Enzo Amore Opens Up On Issues With Triple H

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore recently joined WWE Hall Of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin’s podcast, The Steve Austin Show, to talk about his release from WWE. Amore was released from the company back in January after some sexual assault allegations were made against him.

The charges have since been dropped and Amore is focusing on his rap career. Amore, now going by the name “Real1” opened up to Austin about his various issues with Triple H. He also detailed a heated exchange he had with “The Game” in his office:

“I got my voice taken away from me and it’s the only thing I ever cared about: the most important thing. In wrestling, I’ll lay on my back for anybody 1-2-3. A writer tries to write a line I don’t like in a promo, I ain’t saying it and I’m going to go talk to Vince because I’m not saying it and Hunter’s gonna threaten my job.

“Triple H is gonna tell me I’m gonna get fired because I ain’t saying this sh*t….I’m still going to get handed a microphone every fu*king night, every single time, so I started living like that. You guys have threatened me ever since I got in the door here. You have been hanging it over my head that you will fire me…in the endI was fuc*ing looking at him in the face saying, ‘You’re fuc*ing lucky to have me here.’ I didn’t walk on any eggshells at the end at all. I dressed in my own locker room. When people got mad at me I didn’t care and I just went to Vince….

“I had a conversation with Hunter that I don’t think any other talent in the business has had. He ripped me a new one. He went so off – pulled me into his office and went off….the way I looked at it is I’m not trying to be you, I’m not trying to be Triple H….I’m not trying to marry within the company and be here forever. He was going off and he said to me, ‘Enzo you’re not going to change  the fuc*ing world.’

“When he said that I stood up and shot my chairto the point that it fell and I said, ‘Don’t you get it? I am trying to change the fuc*ing world.’ Triple H stood up and said, ‘There’s no getting through to you.’ Boiling hot mad and he walked me out of that room”

Enzo Amore Opens Up About WWE Release, Final Days With Company

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion and current rapper, Enzo Amore, has opened up further about his final days with WWE. Now going by the name @Real1, Enzo was a guest on the most recent episode of Steve Austin’s podcast.

One of the most controversial parts of Enzo’s WWE exit regards whether or not he informed WWE he was being investigated for a crime. Enzo is still claiming he did not know he was being investigated but did relay a story of his friend receiving an odd email from someone claiming to be an investigator.

“I got a buddy of mine who hit me up and said ‘hey man, my girlfriend got an email from a guy saying he was an investigator,” Enzo said. “Saying he was investigating a claim against a wrestler, never mentioned my name.”

Enzo then continued to say he called his lawyer who got in contact with the police department. The police told Enzo’s lawyer he was not being investigated or charged for anything. He then said the next he heard about it was when his accuser began posting on social media. Neither Enzo nor his friend’s girlfriend replied to the investigator’s email.

Enzo on What He Said To Vince McMahon and WWE The Day He Was Suspended

January 22nd, 2018 was the day the story began to leak. It was also the day of the Raw 25th Anniversary Special. Enzo was sent home that day and fired the next. He admitted he was wearing a t-shirt that said “Today is the Best Day of My Life, I Can’t Wait for Tomorrow” at the time. He also admitted that is kind of funny.

Enzo continued to say that when he left the Barclays Center that day he drove for 5 hours and recorded himself talking the whole time. He plans to release the footage someday.

Enzo said that when Vince McMahon told him to go home and wait to be called, he told Vince “I don’t deserve this, I’m a good person.”

When he was called the next day by WWE lawyers and told he was being fired, Enzo says he told them “It’s your loss, not mine.”

Enzo Amore and Liv Morgan

Enzo also spoke about his relationship with Liv Morgan. He said the pair remain friends despite having broken up a year and a half ago. Liv is even still roommates with Enzo’s friend. Previously, the three of them lived together in Orlando.

Evidently, Liv is not a great driver. Enzo relayed a story of how she damaged a car he gave her.

“I was leasing a Dodge Dart so I was broke bro, I didn’t have no damn money,” Enzo said. “So the Dodge Dart I called the Gionna Mobile because I gave it to my ex Liv Morgan, Gionna. She put dents, she didn’t know how to drive so she learned how to drive in that Dodge Dart. So we called it the Gionna Mobile, just chalked it up as an L bro.”
