Enzo Amore knows everybody is talking about his possible WWE return, and he’s just thrown even more fuel on the fire. With rumors circulating that the former Cruiserweight Champion has already signed a new contract, Amore dropped a lengthy Instagram promo that included references to WWE, Cody Rhodes, his controversial departure, and the possibility of making a comeback.
Taking to Instagram on November 10, 2026, Amore posted a video addressing his place in professional wrestling while making several comments that immediately stood out given the recent rumors about his WWE return. He didn’t outright confirm that he’s signed with WWE, but he certainly wasn’t shutting down the conversation either.
Amore opened by discussing his recent success before dropping the familiar phrase “never say never.” He also made a point of mentioning the speculation surrounding him while reminding everyone that he’s still the same outspoken personality fans remember.
“Heels nyc, sold out. But I haven’t the Michael Jordan. The jargon. Soul still intact. But, you know, they said never say never, right? Well, you know, probably same people said, never bite the hand that feeds you. To which I say, what’s a little nibble? One bite. Everybody knows the rules. Women lie. Men lie. They. Them lie. Numbers don’t lie. And I’m the real one. And one thing that I certainly don’t miss is you. Yeah, I’m just heating up the no Brunson burner. More like a strike cat. And them giving you that is more like the equal of the Giants giving you obj. The G’s tease. Cruel. But the only thing pure these days is the speculation.”
Things then took another turn when Amore brought up Dusty Rhodes’ son, an apparent reference to Cody Rhodes, while continuing to boast about his abilities. He also referenced being blackballed by the wrestling industry and made it clear that he hasn’t forgotten how things went down during his previous run.
“Yeah, cruel. He’ll be stepping all over to cocaine at melrose Ballroom on November 12th. But, you know, I don’t think that kid’s trying to be mayor, but whatever, dude. My boss used to sell crack. Yeah. Now let’s get down to brass tacks. Dusty Rhodes. Son could try to shatter my dreams. And the truest kick in the nuts is going to be when he breaks his leg on Geez Nuts. Okay? I’m nuts. And the same industry that tried to blackball me forgot about two things. My brass balls. Yeah, dog. I’m talking about I’m nuts and I’m cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Shout out my girl, Jaleesa Bo. But the last bird flew the coop about eight years ago. And that’s why they call it the Flyway title, dog. Because there’s nobody in this industry that could take off like me. Especially. Especially you, tjp. And somebody else’s ear, Dog, I’m already golden, okay? And I didn’t have to. You know, I’m not seven feet tall. No. I’m larger than life, though. And I’m looking down on everybody, all right? Because if I. If I want to look up to somebody, I gotta turn this industry upside down. I’d love somebody to look up to. But you people don’t comprehend what I’m doing with my pen. And that is why I fear no pencil. Okay? I put it in ink. Call it a Dear John letter from a dear friend and a family.”
Amore wasn’t finished. He continued by reflecting on everything he’s been through in the wrestling business, including losing opportunities, dealing with controversy, and having to rebuild his career outside WWE. He compared himself to Ric Flair in 1991 and repeatedly declared himself the real world champion, making it clear that he still sees himself as one of the best performers in the industry.
“You know, you can’t learn what I learned from the dead. And I had a friend that once said, I am the color red in a world full of black and white. And I’m green, and I still am. And I’m learning more and more each and every day that I’m safe. You could take the numbers and add them up, but you still fall one short. Of a dub, dog. I’m the one. I’m the last threat left. I have been. I have been shrouded in controversy. I faced adversity, back against the wall, lost it all. And I stood tall, did it my way, dawg. And fourth rope. As far as I’m concerned, I am ric Flair in 91. Anywhere I show up, I am the real one. I am the real world champ. And you know what I learned, dog? You know what I learned more than anything about myself? Is that I’ll never give up. And that’s the difference between me and you and Sinatra. Cause I didn’t even think about cutting out my heart would never buy that. No, dog, I’m the real world champ right now. There’s nobody better than me. And until they look me in the eyes and try to prove otherwise, I need you to realize I’m the guy who got a title handed to him from a man who I learned from, sparred with, bled with, laughed with, loved with. And I lost. And he’s gone. And now. This ain’t a Rocky movie. I play Stallone. These ain’t parallels. These are perpendiculars. I’m shooting you straight. I’m the best in the world right now, and there’s nobody who can touch me. And if you. If you even try to say differently, I will hit you with a classic. I will prove that there’s only one word to describe you, and I’ll speak. Fill it out for you. S, A, W, F, T. Soft. How you doing?”
The timing of the video is especially interesting because Amore’s name has been connected to WWE for months. On November 4, PWInsider stated that some people within WWE believed Amore had signed a new contract within the previous week. One source indicated that NXT could be his destination, although WWE has yet to officially announce anything.
There was another development on November 5 when Ringside News covered Amore’s previous contact with AEW. Fightful Select also revealed that Amore and TNA wrestler Joe Alonzo had been visiting the WWE Performance Center for NXT on November 4. While those details added to the questions surrounding his future, neither confirmed that a contract had been finalized.
The situation is even more interesting because his former tag team partner, Big Cass, is already back in WWE. Cass returned earlier this year and has since established himself on Monday Night RAW alongside Ethan Page, with the two defeating Chad Gable and Dragon Lee on October 26.
There had been plenty of talk about a possible reunion, but Big Cass recently admitted that the constant Enzo Amore rumors made his own WWE return more difficult. WWE has also been linked to plans that would keep the former tag team partners apart, at least initially, rather than immediately bringing back their old act.
Amore’s latest Instagram video doesn’t settle the biggest question about his future, but his references to never saying never, being blackballed, and the ongoing speculation certainly give fans plenty to talk about. After nearly nine years away from WWE television, he’s making it clear that he still believes he belongs at the top of the wrestling business.
Whether this is Amore preparing fans for a WWE comeback or simply using the attention to promote himself remains to be seen. One thing is certain — Enzo knows exactly how to get people talking, and he’s doing it again without giving away his next move.
