Scheduled for last night’s Rebellion pay-per-view was Violent By Design (Cody Deaner, Joe Doering, Rhino, and Eric Young) against Chris Sabin, Willie Mack, Eddie Edwards, James Storm in an eight-man tag tea match. However, with Young unable to compete for the next 6-9 months due to a torn ACL, a substitute was required. Before the match, in a backstage segment, Young and the rest of the group were shown talking to a mystery man. Then during the ring introductions of the other Violent By Design members, Young would come out shortly, followed by Big Cass.
Cass, who had been wrestling as Caz XL, is now going by the name W. Morrissey and would win the match for his team after hitting Mack with the East River Crossing. After the match, he would continue to beat on Mack and was clearly booked to look dominant. It isn’t known how long the former Cass has signed with Impact, but he is expected to become a regular.
Cass had been suffering from mental health issues and an alcohol addiction following his WWE release in June 2018 but returned to wrestling after almost 18 months away in February 2021 on an independent show. He’d be the surprise tag partner for Hernandez facing Luke and Perry Hawx, but beforehand he’d make the save for his former WWE tag partner Enzo Amore. Since then, he has competed in several singles matches in the indies and is believed to be in good health, both mentally and physically.
