Big Bill‘s departure from AEW appears to have been confirmed after the former World Tag Team Champion was removed from the company’s online roster.
The move comes just one day after WWE aired a vignette on Raw heavily teasing the return of Big Cass, the name Bill wrestled under during his previous stint with the company. Although WWE did not mention him by name, the video featured numerous references to his former character, including SAWFT signs, fans wearing his old merchandise and audio of former tag team partner Enzo Amore delivering the duo’s iconic “and you can’t teach that” catchphrase.
The vignette also featured the silhouette of a tall figure alongside the date “8/3,” pointing to the August 3 edition of Raw in Des Moines, Iowa, the first episode following SummerSlam.
A voiceover, believed to be Bill, asked: “What happens when the whole world calls you can’t miss? What happens when the world is wrong?” before the teaser concluded with the August 3 date.
Big Bill No Longer Listed On AEW’s Roster Page
One fan also noted how Big Bill no longer appears on AEW’s active roster page. Bill did appear on the page as of June 22, 2026, according to the WayBackMachine.

With Big Bill no longer listed on AEW’s roster page and WWE now openly teasing the return of Big Cass, all signs point to the former WWE star making his comeback to the company on the August 3 edition of Raw.
