2-Time WWE Champion Reveals Jealousy Caused His Backstage Heat

A former two-time champion in WWE has claimed that jealousy from his peers caused their backstage heat in the company.

WWE is a competitive company both in the ring and behind the scenes, with a group of talent jockeying for a few top spots in the company.

So it’s easy to imagine that when a breakout star appears almost from nowhere, it can put a few noses out of joint.

Enzo Amore Claims Jealousy Reigned In WWE

Speaking on The John Rondi Show, former 2-time WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore claimed that his merchandise sales made him a magnet for backstage heat in the company:

I thought that I could never be fired because, f** it, I was making this company millions of dollars. Sure, and they were getting me for pennies. I was making 2.5% of the merchandise sold in my name, and I had more catchphrases than anybody, maybe in the history of pro wrestling, in my rookie year. In my rookie year, I probably had more catchphrases than anyone ever in the business — and most sold, correct. I was the number one merchandise seller along with my tag team partner, Big Cass.

So I’ll never take all the credit for that, because I never could’ve talked all that *** if I didn’t have that seven-footer standing behind me. Jealousy woes — now that I look back on it, I can probably understand it more.

When you’re the number one merchandise seller in WWE, everyone’s your ******* enemy — and you don’t even know it. The s** being talked about you and leaking to the internet is coming from the people you work with.

I was in way over my head, I was — but I didn’t give a f**. And that was my superpower. I didn’t sell it. So if I had heat, f*** you, I don’t care. You hate me because you ain’t me type s***.
