Over the weekend Big Cass was booked to make a surprise appearance at a WrestlePro event in Rahway, NJ, but the former WWE Superstar was reportedly acting aggressive and erratic backstage and had to be removed from the building.
Cass got into an altercation with Joey Janela, and according to reports was taken down by Pat Buck before police were called. He also reportedly left the scene in an ambulance.
Big Cass has issued a statement on the incident via Enzo Amore’s Instagram and the statement reads as follows:
“A letter from my best friend @thecazxl 🙏🏼 …… I have been very honest with my past struggles, and it has been an ongoing battle. On Saturday night, I obviously let my demons get the better of me and I ruined an important night for a really great guy in an unfortunate series of events. I have worked incredibly hard to get where I am, and even harder to overcome my ongoing battle with depression. But I will work my absolute hardest to right the wrongs of Saturday night and apologize to Kevin Mathews, Pat Buck, Joey Janela, the entire WrestlePro locker room and all parties involved from the bottom of my heart.
I’m getting help from family and friends as we speak and will be getting professional help in the near future and ask all to please respect my privacy in the meantime.
When & if I reemerge as a public figure it will be in good faith and I hope to inspire those who struggle with the same mental health issues I do to seek the help they need. If Tyson Fury can do it….so can I.
Remember…I ain’t dead yet. And neither are you.
Peace and love,
William Patrick Morrissey III —”
