“Was in Contact”: Enzo Amore Reveals if Tony Khan Wants Him, Discloses Letter to AEW

Enzo Amore is one of the wrestlers with the best microphone in recent WWE history. He had a lot of charisma and made pleasant interventions that the audience liked very much. During his time in WWE, he formed a stable with Big Cass and Carmella in NXT, becoming one of the most beloved groups among fans. When he made the main roster, he moved to the Cruiserweight division. There, he became the ultimate champion of the division, but perhaps not a great one.

But his career came to a halt when he faced accusations of sexual assault, after which he was fired from the WWE. But why did he not go to any other promotion, like AEW, to join Cass? Well, it seems like he did want to join the promotion, as he disclosed a letter he wrote to them.

Enzo Amore opens up about wanting to join AEW

In a recent appearance on the ‘Inside the Ropes’ podcast, Amore talked about getting fired from the WWE and wanting to join a new promotion. And during this conversation, he revealed his thoughts on whether he would want to join AEW. He said that he was interested in joining but did not get a reply from the Tony Khan-led promotion. And now, if they want him, they have their number to contact him.

“I think a few years ago, I was in contact with them. There was a lack of interest on their end, and they were bringing in Big Cass. And honestly, no, the answer is no. You know, I’m doing fine in my life. They know my phone number, if they wanted to get in touch with me and contact with me, they could. People know that I’m a draw when it comes to television.” He further revealed that when Brodie Lee, unfortunately, passed away, Amore watched the tribute show that AEW organized in Lee’s memory. And the former WWE superstar turned rapper was so moved that he actually wrote a letter to Tony Khan, thanking him for honoring the life of his friend.

“I’ll tell you what did it. Brody, one of my good buddies, Luke Harper, known as Luke Harper in the WWE. When he passed away, that was the first time I tuned into AEW to see the show that they put on for him. And I thought to myself at that time, I even wrote a letter to Tony Khan. I don’t know if he ever got it, but thanking him for doing that. Just what you did for my friend, the way you honored him and the other company that he used to work for didn’t really honor him at all. And I just thought it was class and that they did something right.”

Well, it would be interesting to see if AEW contacts the former cruiserweight champion. WWE seems out of the question. As when Enzo Amore was fired from WWE in 2017, a year later he tried to sabotage the Survivor Series 2018 event with his presence. But the security of the venue stopped him. Likewise, he and Big Cass tried to do the same. But at the joint event between NJPW and ROH: G1 Supercard in 2019. They met the same fate again. Thus, the involvement of Enzo Amore or Big Cass in either ROH or NJPW never became a reality, despite the rumors. Cass is now part of AEW under the ring name W. Morrissey, while Amore was known as Real1 in the MLW ranks before he was fried from there as well.

Enzo suffered the same fate in MLW

Major League Wrestling fired one of the company’s most red-hot wrestlers back in 2023, as Real1 aka Enzo Amore, was removed from the ranks of the promotion. Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio reported that the wrestler was fired by the company. He was set to challenge Alex Hammerstone for the world heavyweight title at Battle Riot V on April 8.

The former WWE star debuted in the company at the War Chamber event. He faced Matt Cross on November 6, 2021, under the name nZo. After his run at MLW, Amore decided to focus on his facet as an artist, already having released several songs, with one of them being Hacksaw, a tribute to Jim Duggan. But now that we know that he was interested in joining the ranks of Tony Khan’s AEW, his fans surely will want to see him in the ring soon. What do you think? Will Amore join AEW? Let us know in the comments.
