Big Bill, the former WWE star Big Cass, may be leaving AEW soon. His contract is said to end in late May or early June, and fans are talking about a possible return to WWE and a chance for a fresh start.
Contract Status and AEW Run
UFCcoverage reported that Big Bill’s AEW deal was set to expire at the end of May or the start of June. Sources said he had not appeared on AEW or ROH television for several weeks after that report.
One source told UFCcoverage that Bill’s AEW deal was set to expire at the end of May or start of June, and that he had not been on ROH or AEW TV since that news.
In AEW, Bill showed strong physical shape and charisma. He won the AEW World Tag Team Championship once with Ricky Starks. Still, he has often been used in the background or as a member of larger groups, and did not reach the promotion’s main event scene.
WWE History and Personal Struggles
William Morrissey signed with WWE in 2011 and became known as Big Cass. He rose to fame in a popular tag team with Enzo Amore in NXT and later on the main roster. The pair were crowd favorites for their entrance and mic work, even though they never won tag gold.
After the team split in 2017, Cass was pushed as a singles star. He had matches with top names and a program with Big Show, but an ACL tear derailed his momentum. He returned after surgery and worked with stars such as Daniel Bryan.
WWE released him in 2018 amid struggles with alcoholism. After his WWE exit, he suffered a seizure during an independent show about a year later. Those years were difficult, but he later returned to big-show wrestling by signing with AEW as Big Bill.
Why WWE Could Be the Right Fit
When Bill arrived in AEW he looked different — fit and in excellent shape. That transformation and his strong presence make him a compelling character for sports entertainment. In WWE, character work and storytelling are often more important than pure in-ring skill. That could help Bill find a clear role.
At 39, Morrissey can offer a redemption arc that connects with fans. He can be used as a powerful babyface, a comedic act, or a scary heel. The article suggests Triple H, who helped build him in NXT, would know how to use him again.
What Could Happen Next
A WWE return would likely be a singles run. The piece argues a comeback should not include Enzo Amore, and that Cass should be presented on his own. He does not need to be the world champion to succeed; a solid role on NXT, Raw, or SmackDown could rebuild his career and give him a strong redemption story.
Embedded below are two short AEW-era videos showing Bill in action and on the mic.
