It appears that CazXL is causing trouble again.
PWInsider reports that the former WWE superstar was showcasing “aggressive and erratic” behavior backstage to various staff and crew, including AEW’s Joey Janela.
There’s no confirmed reason why CazXL had a problem with Janela, as the former WWE superstar and “The Bad Boy” shared a locker room the previous night without any problems. However, several sources are stating that the 33-year-old had some beef with the AEW star due to the incident involving Janela and nZo (Enzo Amore) several months back.
Various talents and management tried to intervene to defuse the situation, but CazXL continued to be loud and belligerent towards to Janela, who was eventually moved to a private room with Dan Maff so they could call their match without distraction and to keep CazXL separated from them. The former WWE superstar continued on with his verbal tirade in a small backstage room with AEW stars SCU and Pat Buck, who were putting a match together for the main event. CazXL eventually threatened to fight everyone in the room and then turned his attention to Buck and said, “
What are you going to do, tough guy?” and spit in Buck’s face.
Buck punched Cass, which took him down instantly. Buck then grabbed Cass and controlled him on the floor as other wrestlers stormed in and pulled Cass out of the room. The PWInsider report states that the second Cass was down on the floor, his entire demeanor changed as he went from aggressive and threatening to questioning why he was hit and asking what was going on.
The former WWE superstar was ejected from the event and eventually taken to a local hospital due to several people being concerned about his mental state as he was reportedly shouting remarks about himself outside of the arena.
There’s no word on if CazXL is out of the hospital yet; however, his behavior is being deemed unprofessional by everyone backstage. Hopefully the former WWE superstar can get the help that he needs to get better.
