Big Cass WrestlePro Incident
CazXL, formerly known as Big Cass in WWE, had an incident at a WrestlePro show this weekend. Caz was escorted from the venue after a series of incidents (h/t CagesideSeats). The show was a farewell show for WrestlePro owner Pat Buck who recently signed as a producer with WWE. Caz was escorted out of the building after spitting on Buck. Buck still had a great farewell show:

Caz also had run ins with AEW stars Joey Janela & So-Cal Uncensored. They included accusing them of stealing from him, and confronting Janela about his run-in with Caz’s tag team partner Enzo at a Blink 182 concert this summer. Caz has been very open about struggles with substance abuse, and reports indicate that his behavior could have been indicative of being under the influence. Here is hoping that Caz gets help should he need it.
