Orange Cassidy replacing Eddie Kingston at NJPW Collision in Philadelphia

Orange Cassidy will replace Eddie Kingston at NJPW Collision in Philadelphia due to injury. 

NJPW announced Sunday that Kingston is off next Sunday’s card, and that Cassidy will replace Kingston in his scheduled singles match against Gabriel Kidd. 

NJPW did not disclose the nature of Kingston’s injury. 

In addition, should Cassidy retain the AEW International Championship on Wednesday’s Dynamite against Buddy Matthews, Cassidy vs. Kidd will be for the International title. 

The full cards are now finalized for both of NJPW’s Collision events. 

Saturday’s Capital Collision show in Washington DC and Sunday’s Collision in Philadelphia will both air as pay-per-views on FITE TV. Saturday’s event can be purchased for $19.99, Sunday’s for $14.99, or both can be bought as a bundle for $29.99.
