Yeah, that was Enzo Amore sitting ringside at WWE pay-per-view “Survivor Series.” That’s *was* because the former WWE superstar has been kicked out of the L.A. Staples Center event after revealing himself to the crowd, standing on a folding chair, and leading them in a recital of his old entrance-ramp schtick.

Below is Amore — real name Eric Ardnt — attempting to hijack “Survivor Series,” which is the second-longest-running of the WWE PPVs.

It is probably (read: “definitely”) no coincidence that the self-proclaimed “Certified G” and “Bonafide Stud” dropped his debut rap album, “Rosemary’s Baby Pt. 1: Happy Birthday,” on iTunes and Spotify today. Arndt now spits under the name nZo — he formerly rapped as “Real1.”

Before all of the distracting nonsense happened, which got “Enzo” trending on Twitter, Big Cass’ former tag team partner and hype-man just tried to blend in — or at least, to bide his time.

Here’s a look at Arndt sitting in the second row on what they call the “hard camera” side of the ring. That means the WWE Network’s fixed-camera was pretty much on him the whole time, and it didn’t take Twitter too long to catch on.

Cool disguise, bro.

Cooler belt.

Amore’s shirt reads “I’m Doin’ Great!,” which is a response to his own catchphrase, “How You Doin’?”

Bryan Alvarez of The Wrestling Observer reports that Amore was detained by WWE and Staples Center security, as well as the LAPD. Enzo was eventually shown the door and “banned from returning,” Alvarez wrote on Twitter.

WWE did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment on Amore’s attendance and behavior.

Amore was released by WWE in January after being accused of rape. At the time, he was the Cruiserweight Champion and face of “205 Live.” Though the case was dropped, Amore was not reinstated by WWE. He had reportedly been a disciplinary problem for much of his time on the main roster.

Arndt has said he’ll never wrestle again. But he’ll sure still cut promos:

That second tweet is a reference to an incident from last week, when Arndt was kicked off of a Delta flight for allegedly vaping on the airplane.

Every WWE Champion Ever, Ranked by Number of Reigns (Photos)

From Buddy Rogers to Bobby Lashley, here are all the guys from the old WWWF and WWF days — and beyond

Pro-wrestling championship belts change hands (or waists) like grapplers change ring gear these days, though it wasn't always that way. Bobby Lashley is the current WWE Championship after an incredibly short-lived reign by The Miz (and after one violent Hurt Lock in the main event of March 1, 2021's "Monday Night Raw" episode).  

The Miz (yes, Mike from "The Real World") only had the belt for eight days. Really though, Lashley's violent "Elimination Chamber" attack on then-champ Drew McIntyre is what set Miz up for his second WWE Championship. In other words, the belt found the correct waist in the end.  

This is Lashley's first-ever stint as WWE Champion, and it's spanned several pay-per-views. Up next is Sunday's "Hell in a Cell," which fans can watch on Peacock.
