Orange Cassidy Thinks He’s The Only Person Who’s Had 16 Breakout Matches

AEW

AEW star Orange Cassidy thinks people forget about him, which has led to him having multiple breakout matches.

At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, Cassidy had yet another breakout match against Will Ospreay for the IWGP United States Championship. This marked his first high profile bout since AEW Revolution where he suffered a shoulder injury.

During a roundtable panel at San Diego Comic Con (via Absolute Geek Podcast), the AEW star discussed his encounter with Ospreay and how fans view him.

He said:

“Well, I was hurt for a very long time. I had a type III AC separation in my left shoulder, and it hurt real bad, so I couldn’t really wrestle for a while. Then it’s like okay, and I decided to come back and wrestle Will Ospreay. I tried a little harder than I usually do in that match, especially because I, I don’t know. I don’t need to prove anything to anybody, but I know I can. Every now and then, I like to show everybody and remind everybody what I can do when I feel like it. I have that luxury to just turn it on when I want to. I think I’m the only person that’s like 16 breakout matches because I get that every single time I have a wrestling match. It’s like people forgot, so I just wanted to remind everybody this is who Orange Cassidy was, and I think I was able to do that. I would have liked to win, but he’s pretty good.”

Orange Cassidy’s match with Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door received high praise from fans as well as those backstage in All Elite Wrestling.

Cassidy will be in action against Jay Lethal on the August 3 edition of AEW Dynamite.
