WWE Release Big Cass

While the reason for the release isn't apparent at the time of writing, the news will come as a shock to many fans as the 7-footer was in the midst of a high profile feud with former SmackDown General Manager, Daniel Bryan. The pair faced-off for the second time at Money in the Bank on Sunday, with Bryan making Cass tap for the second pay per view in a row - their first meeting took place at Backlash in May.

Making his main roster debut the night after WrestleMania 32 alongside Enzo Amore, Cass was part of one of WWE's more popular acts.
