Back in September of 2017, Enzo Amore turned heel on WWE TV after winning the Cruiserweight Title, and he says that’s something he wasn’t interested in doing.
Speaking during a Q&A session at the “For The Love of Wrestling” convention, the former WWE Superstar recalled getting buried by The Miz during a promo on the September 17th, 2017 episode of RAW and his eventual heel turn.
You can check out some highlights from the Q&A session below:
On being buried by The Miz in a RAW promo: “It’s funny you bring up the only time in my entire career where I could not rebuttal in a promo… That was written by Vince McMahon, delivered my me, and meant to turn me into the bad guy, and it did. I never wanted to turn heel.”
On wanting to stay a babyface: “This is a television show and I don’t write the script, I could control only certain things, and if I [have] got to be a bad guy, I’m going to let a lot of kids down in the process. It was a tough day at the office when I got flipped heel, I got buried on a microphone and I had to sit there and take it, and then I had to bury a man’s wife.”
