Amore recently sat down with AEW broadcaster Chris Van Vliet and opened up about a number of factors about his life, career, and how he’s adjusted to life outside the ring over the past few years.

Here are some of the biggest things we learned from Enzo Amore’s interview with Chris Van Vliet.

#5. John Cena saved Enzo Amore’s WWE career

One of the first things that Enzo Amore talked about while speaking to Van Vliet was the fact that he was ready to be fired just seven months after he first came to WWE. Amore went out to the ring for an NXT match at one point and was prepared to be fired when he headed backstage, but thankfully John Cena was in the crowd watching his match and actually asked for him to be part of the dark segment later in the show. This prompted WWE to take a longer look at the star and allowed him to open up and share his personality much more.

Cena was later part of a dark segment with Amore and Big Cass which may have been the main reason why Amore wasn’t fired.

#4. Enzo explained all about Phoenix

Enzo Amore’s main reason for being fired from WWE was because he was accused of rape and wasn’t honest with the company about it. The charges were made public the day of RAW 25 and the company was frustrated that the news surrounding WWE was negative on a day that they were trying to celebrate their history.

Amore was cleared of all of the charges a few months after his release and has since been able to return to the ring for different promotions, except for WWE. As part of his recent sit- down with Chris Van Vliet, Amore was able to open up about the story behind his dismissal from WWE.

#3. Enzo has a rich friend who let him borrow clothes

Enzo Amore would appear on WWE TV often in clothes that would cause many to believe he had his own stylist. Amore would wear Jordan shoes and expensive clothing to the ring and unlike many other Superstars, Amore didn’t actually have a usual ring attire. There was a rumor that Amore had a lot of money and had quite the lifestyle outside of the business since he was often seen partying outside of the company and being frivolous with money.

This is something that he addressed with Chris Van Vliet. Amore talked about the fact that when he was a heel with the Cruiserweight Championship, he would live the Ric Flair lifestyle, which meant that he would go clubbing with stars like Drake and The Weeknd. Amore also addressed the fact that the clothes he often wore as part of his character were not his own.

#2. Will Big Cass be returning to the business?

Enzo Amore and Big Cass were aligned together in NXT when they first started out and quickly became close friends. Amore was fired from the company just months before Big Cass followed suit, which meant that the two men were able to reunite outside of WWE for a number of different promotions.

Amore was asked about Big Cass, who has been struggling with his mental health recently and Van Vliet wanted an update on whether or not Cass would be returning in the future.

#1. Why was Enzo at Survivor Series 2018?

Many fans were shocked when Enzo Amore was spotted in the crowd at Survivor Series almost a year ago now and many believed that he was making his WWE comeback. It turns out that this wasn’t the case. Since Amore stood up and was then cheered by the crowd, security swiftly removed him from the audience.

Many fans questioned why Amore would return to a company that he was fired from more than a year ago, but the former Cruiserweight Champion was able to open up about his reasons why. Enzo stated that he wanted to, “Let the bridges you burn light the way,” which meant that he headed over to Survivor Series and paid $2,500 dollars for a ticket so that he could confirm that he was returning to the wrestling ring.

Being removed from the arena obviously made headlines throughout the wrestling world and once again put Enzo on the map, which worked out perfectly for Amore in the end.
