Orange Cassidy Set for In-Ring Return on 9/24 AEW Dynamite – Former AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy is officially set to return to action this Wednesday on AEW Dynamite in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, marking his first match in over six months.
Cassidy will team with Mark Briscoe and Hologram to take on three members of the Don Callis Family in a highly anticipated trios match. The announcement came during Saturday’s AEW All Out pay-per-view in a backstage segment featuring Briscoe and members of The Conglomeration. Briscoe issued the challenge to Callis and his stable, confirming himself and Hologram for the bout before teasing a mystery third partner. When Willow Nightingale pressed for the identity of the final teammate, Briscoe turned to Kyle O’Reilly, who was on the phone. After a quick exchange, O’Reilly casually replied, “Whatever,” and gave the Cassidy thumbs-up to confirm the returning star.
The 41-year-old Cassidy has been sidelined since mid-March after suffering a torn pectoral muscle, an injury believed to have occurred during a four-way match. One of AEW’s most popular and resilient performers, Cassidy had an impressive run as International Champion before being forced to step away for surgery and recovery.
His return adds star power to Dynamite and injects fresh intrigue into the ongoing feud between Briscoe’s group and the Don Callis Family. Fans will be eager to see if Cassidy shows any ring rust or if he immediately resumes his trademark laid-back yet explosive style when he steps back between the ropes.
