Chris Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy announced for next AEW Dynamite
A feud between two of AEW’s top stars has been rekindled ahead of next week’s Dynamite from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, as Chris Jericho will go one-on-one with Orange Cassidy.
It will be the fourth career singles meeting between Jericho and Cassidy and the first since their Mimosa Mayhem match at 2020’s All Out.
The 2020 feud has been referenced throughout the build to this new bout with Jericho repeatedly bringing up that Cassidy still owes him $7000 for ruining one of his jackets that same year. Jericho recovered the ruined jacket, but recently stole Cassidy’s backpack for revenge.
In angle on Dynamite following a Jericho, Big Bill, and Bryan Keith trios win, Jericho revealed a framed picture of Cassidy and the Best Friends, insulting him for caring too much about the past. Cassidy then appeared on the screen to pay Jericho his money, enlisting Mark Briscoe and Kyle O’Reilly to dump $7000 worth of coins into Jericho’s convertible using a forklift.
The Jericho vs. Cassidy match is the only bout confirmed for Wednesday as of now.
