English asks if Enzo thinks Cass can sing better than myself? English says if Cass thinks he is better, let’s take it to the NXT Universe. Let’s have a singing competition and let them decide who is the true talent. Cass says that sounds good and he will drop English like an unneccesary theater elective, how you doin’?
