When fans of All Elite Wrestling were first introduced to Orange Cassidy – very few expected him to become the most dominant champion in the company. Originally displayed as a lazy slacker with occasional bursts of greatness, Cassidy was an easy fan favorite.
However, when he won the AEW All-Atlantic Championship from PAC in 2022, things would change. Cassidy suddenly was showing his ability to take down challenger after challenger, and it’s taken a toll on his body.
Orange Cassidy Doesn’t Remember The Matches – He Remembers The Pain He Was In During The Match
During an interview with Denise Salcedo, Orange Cassidy would talk about his reign as AEW International Champion – and what his favourite match of the reign has been. Cassidy had the following response.
“I never like getting beat up, so I know none of them are my favorite. But it is interesting that the championship was, it started on Rampage. I defended it a lot on Rampage against a lot of those guys that we were just taking about. Everyone gave me a tough time, and then it slowly crept its way onto Dynamite. Then I started wrestling the Big Bills and the Jake Hagers, and then I started getting in more pain. I don’t remember the matches. I remember the pain that I felt through each one. So my back hurt tremendously because of Jake Hager, Big Bill, Danny Garcia. My hand is still throbbing because of Buddy Matthews. Zack Sabre Jr., he messed it up. I wrestled against Katsuyori Shibata. That’s crazy, right? I shouldn’t be doing that. But I am.”
Cassidy will be in action at AEW All In – teaming with Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero Meido, Chuck Taylor & Trent Beretta to face the Blackpool Combat Club in Stadium Stampede.
Joining the BCC for this match are the returning Santana & Ortiz. It’s believed Cassidy will defend his belt at All Out, with Jon Moxley as the most likely contender given the short time between PPV events.
