Orange Cassidy to make CMLL debut at 91st Anniversary show

Former two-time AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy will make his CMLL debut at September’s 91st Anniversary show.

Announced Wednesday night, Cassidy will team with Rocky Romero and reigning MLW Champion Satoshi Kojima against Volador Jr., Ring of Honor TV Champion Atlantis Jr. and Ultimo Guerrero.

The event is set for Friday, September 13th at Arena Mexico.

Cassidy won’t be the only AEW star on the show as Chris Jericho will make his official in-ring return to CMLL for the first time since 1995 when he takes on Mistico in one of the night’s featured matches. While the match was announced two months ago, the promotion put out the official graphic for the match on Thursday.

The moves are the latest in the partnership between AEW and CMLL that has seen Mistico, Atlantis Jr., Hechicero, and many others compete in AEW while MJF, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli and others have made their way to Mexico.

A trios bout between Futuro, Max Star & Hombre Bala Jr. against Magnus, Rugido & Magia Blanca was also announced for the event.

The additions join the previously announced Jericho vs. Mistico match and a four-way mask match between Hechicero, El Valiente, Esfinge and Euforia.
