Enzo Amore comes out to a good reception from the Los Angeles crowd. Enzo says this is about the realest guys in the room, emphasis on guys. He takes off his jacket to reveal a muscle shirt of theirs. He says he’s tried to call Cass, left voicemails and even called his mother but he can’t get him. So he calls Cass to the ring to talk man to man.
Big Cass comes to the ring and gets booed. Enzo asks Cass if he can hear the fans. He says he knows their boos hurt Cass, he knows Cass better than anyone and he knows that hurts him. Enzo says that Cass hurt him with a lot of what he said and y’know what? He was right.
Enzo admits that he isn’t the biggest guy but he does have the biggest mouth. He says he was able to run his mouth because Cass was always behind him. He calls Cass his brother and his family. He tells him to forget WWE, forget the fans. He says Cass is his brother in life. He took so much pride when Cass his the gas and he was in the shotgun. And the ride isn’t over yet. He says he saw anger, passion and love in Cass’ eyes last week, and he knows Cass saw it running down his cheek too. He says the last time he saw that look on Cass’ face was when he got injured facing The Vaudevillains and Cass was at his side in hospital. He says their bond is strong and they are brothers for life and they won’t stop until they are Tag Team Champions.
It’s all LOVE for @real1 and @BigCassWWE! #RAW pic.twitter.com/i5nbfhjxr1

Cass takes the microphone and says Enzo doesn’t know when to shut up. He admits that he was ashamed last week when he attacked him. He knows who Enzo is and they are indeed brothers. So here, in front of the world, he wants to say he is sorry for everything he has said and done for the past five weeks. He asks for forgiveness and extends his hand. Enzo and Cass talk without micrphones for a minute, then shake hands and Cass hugs him. Cass turns to LA and says if they thought this ride was over, there’s only one word to describe them: S-A-W-F-T! The duo hug and leave the ring.
Enzo and Cass make their way up the ramp and the fans cheer. They stand atop the ramp and hold their hands high, then Cass clothesline’s Enzo hard! The fans chant “A$$HOLE” as Cass grabs Enzo by the head and stares at him. Cass then lifts Enzo above his head and throws him down the ramp!
