This is the sort of typical WWE mystery angle that makes no sense at all if you think about it for more than a second. Why would a giant need to keep sneaking up on a wuss in order to knock him out? He could have done it at any time. And if Cass hated Enzo so much, why was he still hanging out with him?
In the past whenever I've fallen out with an old friend, we've tended to just drift apart or stop talking to each other. Which seems infinitely healthier than staying friends with them, but kicking the shit out of them whenever they're not looking. I can't say that I understand Cass's motivation there. If Enzo is an annoying prat, don't force yourself to hang out with him. Then maybe you won't feel the need to lash out in a violent (and stealthy) rage on a weekly basis.
A better story would have been to have Cass drift apart from Enzo, and maybe have him considering a singles career. Then Enzo could have been attacked a couple of times with Cass trying to come to his rescue. In the end it would turn out that the attacks had been faked by Enzo to get Cass's attention back on the team and on helping him out. Leading to the sort of emotional angle from this week's Raw where Enzo apologises and tries to get the team back together, before Cass destroys him. It would have made more sense and would have been emotionally richer. And that's without putting much thought into it.
