Just hours after he made his first wrestling appearance in 15 months, former WWE Superstar Big Cass thanked fans for continuing to believe in him despite the rocky road of the past year.

“After a long journey filled with an enormous amount of self-reflection, I now start my journey towards redemption. Thank you [Doc Gallows] for the opportunity, and thank you to everyone for continuing to believe in me,” he wrote in a post on Twitter.

Gallows runs the Lariato Pro Wrestling indie promotion where Cass, who now goes by the name of CaZXL, made his return during the weekend looking in great shape.
