— Yesterday, we noted that Big Cass was reportedly released due to his personal conduct backstage, with two incidents documented – one where he broke down the door to a bus and then another when he deliberately disobeyed a directive by WWE producers and Vince McMahon.

— Another incident was shared today by Mike Johnson of PWInsider who states that a fan wrote into him to say that Cass spat at the front of fans at a live event in Waco, TX on June 2 before screaming at the producers. Johnson adds that Cass was said to be a little bit “immature” at times and rubbed people the wrong way – not to the extent that Enzo Amore did – but enough that he was not able to recover from it.

— In a related note to his release, Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live stated that Cass was not fired in front of the roster as some online rumors seemed to suggest (likely after the news leaked that Vince McMahon held a meeting before Smackdown). Cass was apparently told of his release on Monday evening, but the other wrestlers found out on Tuesday during the Vince meeting.
