From that point, Amore and Cass continued rising through the ranks of WWE NXT, spending several years grinding on that circuit. Eventually, the duo became so popular that they landed on Vince McMahon's radar and were tested out on main roster live events. Still, it took until the following year before they received the official call-up.
Advertisement"WrestleMania [32] was coming around in Dallas, and we're pressing — we're like, 'Man, we've been on so many loops. Are we gonna get called up?'" Bill stated. "Finally, Hunter pulled me and Enzo into a room after the NXT pay-per-view and said, 'You're getting called up Monday.'"
Looking back on that 2016 episode of "WWE Raw," Bill recalled confronting the Dudley Boys after they suffered a loss, with the crowd providing huge reactions to their routine. That caused the people in the back to take immediate notice of the tag team, setting them up for a couple of years of success before their WWE run came to a close.
Both men were eventually released from WWE at different points. While Bill has gone on to find success in promotions like AEW and TNA Wrestling, Amore has remained active on the independent scene under the ring name Real1.
