Enzo Amore was recently a guest on the Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. During the interview, Enzo spoke on a wide variety of topics. One of the most interesting parts was when he was asked about his recent hotel room scene with Lana on RAW.

The angle was very controversial and brought back memories from the WWE’s “Attitude Era”. A lot of fans were confused with who was the good or the bad guy in this scene considering Enzo was looking to hook-up with Lana, who is a married woman.
Enzo explained the hotel room scene with Lana and why WWE didn’t want him to be himself:
“When I’m in the hotel room and I see Lana, it’s a “Pulp Fiction” moment. It’s John Travolta walking up to his boss’s door trying to talk himself out of it the entire time. For me, in this scenario, I was presented with a challenge that I had never seen before because for that time period, they didn’t want me to be Enzo. Enzo would have walked into the hotel room and started making Certified G jokes; with that being said, I had the mindset to go in there and just murder this right now, and be hilarious, and everyone is going to pop for it. I had an arsenal of material ready; but when I got there in the situation; the situation is that you deserve every beatdown that you receive”
He continued:
“You walk into a hotel room with someone’s wife while she was naked. You said that you were going to stuff her turkey. I don’t remember exactly what I said, but of course he’s going to kick me in the “you know what,” so the next time I’m on television, we had to dial it back when I was put into that situation, so to garner those people’s sympathy, I started playing the shy..I don’t want to be here, and the second I walked into the situation I knew it wasn’t the right one, and I made a bad decision, and I wanted to get out of there. It wasn’t because I was scared of Rusev, it was because I didn’t want to do something with another man’s wife, and so, Enzo is a good guy at the end of the day. That was the role I was asked to play”
