American Ninja Warrior 13[]
Thanks to the lower age limit, Enzo got to complete in his first season in the third episode of qualifying. His run was digested, but it was shown that he cleared the course with the third fastest time, and moved on to the semifinals. He later competed in the third semifinal episode. There, he fell on Padlock, but placed 12th overall and moved on to the national finals as a rookie.
In Stage 1, it was shown that he completed the course with only 2.33 seconds to spare. In Stage 2, it was shown that he failed V Formation, where his hands were too close, causing him to slip off, ending his rookie season.
American Ninja Warrior 14[]
Enzo returned for his second season and competed in the first episode of qualifying. His run was once again digested, but it was shown that although he made the final big move on the Salmon Roll, he made a last-minute adjustment of the bar which caused it to go off-track, and he ultimately fell just feet away from the dismount. However, he still managed to place 17th and advance to the semifinals.
He later competed in the third semifinals episode. His run was digested, but he failed the eighth obstacle once again, failing on Box Office. He was still able to place 14th overall and advance to the national finals for his second straight season.
On Stage One, he recovered from a near fall on the Jumping Spider. However, he struggled on Tetherball for a while and eventually lost his grip on the rope, ending his season earlier than expected.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
Enzo returned in the final episode of qualifying. His run was digested, but he finished the course with a time of 01:38.39.
He later competed in the final episode of semifinals, going up against Kyle Schulze. Kyle ended up going out on Sideways, while Enzo completed his first semifinals course, guaranteeing his third straight trip to Vegas.
On Stage One, he almost spun out on The Gambler but he was able to get through it and complete the course with 22 seconds remaining getting his revenge from the previous season. It was revealed that he would be racing Luke Dillon. On Stage Two, Enzo and Luke both failed Epic Air Surfer; however, since Enzo reached the obstacle first he advanced to Stage Three. On Stage Three, Enzo took some extra spins on Pressure Cooker and made it all the way to the final obstacle Road Signs before falling on the second sign, ending his best season.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
Enzo once again returned for his fourth season in the final episode of qualifying in American Ninja Warrior 16. His run was digested but Enzo was flying through the course and made it past Ring the Bells on his way to conquer the course with the fastest time of the night and got to attempt the Mega Wall which he failed to complete but still moved onto the semifinals with the fastest time of the night.
He later competed in the last semifinal episode, he raced Lenny Lopez, the race was digested, but Enzo cleared the course while Lenny failed on Wingnuts, guaranteeing his fourth straight trip to the national finals.
In Vegas, he once again started off strong, but then he shockingly failed on The Gambler, an obstacle he had gotten through the previous season after his right hand couldn't hold onto the metal part of the hanging bar and for the second time he failed on the fifth obstacle of Stage One.
American Ninja Warrior 17[]
Enzo returned for his fifth season in the fourth episode of qualifying. His run was shown in full and also commentated by 2 time Grand Champion Vance Walker (who didn't compete this season due to a leg injury), where despite a close fall on the dismount of the Log Grip and missing his first attempt at the Warped Wall due to rushing, he cleared the course in 50 seconds with the fourth fastest time that episode and he once again got to attempt the Mega Wall, which he once again missed.
He later competed in the first semifinals episode. Before his run, his sideline was ranked #5 of ANW's Top 5 Best Sidelines. During his run, he put up a memorable run being the first competitor that episode who past got Cannonball Alley, which marks the first time that he completed the eighth obstacle on a semifinals course. He also managed to complete Doorknob Arch. He would ultimately end up being the first competitor shown that episode to fall on the Invisible Ladder. He placed 12th overall, advancing him to the national finals for the fifth straight season.
In the National Finals, he competed in Group 4 for the first stage of racing. On his first race against Sean Bryan, he kicked the first bar on the Floating Monkey Bars, which forced him into a mini Flying Bar. He managed to beat Sean Bryan, after Sean fell on Piston Plunge. His second race against Isaiah Thomas was a nail-biter, but Isaiah eventually finished about ten seconds faster. His final race was against Anabella Heinrichs, and when she fell on Floating Monkey Bars, Enzo cruised to a victory, sporting a 2-1 record on the first round of racing.
But when he got to the knockout stage of racing, he missed out on the top 16, where he lost to Ben Behrends.
It was confirmed on his YouTube channel that he is competing on American Ninja Warrior 18.
