Orange Cassidy isn’t just fighting for the AEW World Title at AEW Full Gear—he’s fighting to save the heart and soul of All Elite Wrestling. Set to challenge Jon Moxley for the top prize, Cassidy is stepping up in a big way after Moxley’s brutal reign of terror with the Death Riders has left a trail of destruction.
Ahead of the showdown, Cassidy opened up to The New York Post Sports about why he feels it’s absolutely critical to put an end to Moxley’s dominance now.
“I’m afraid that the longer this goes on, the more he is going to influence other people,” Cassidy shared, passionately defending his stance. “We literally see what his idea of ‘changing the future and changing AEW for the better’ looks like. More people that you care about are going to get hurt, and their careers will probably end.”
Moxley’s actions speak for themselves. He’s already put Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor out of commission. And who could forget the sickening moment when Moxley put a plastic bag over Danielson’s head? Cassidy isn’t just worried about AEW’s veterans—he’s concerned about the younger generation falling under Moxley’s influence.
“The future is full of young, talented, impressionable wrestlers,” Cassidy explained. “He wants to make AEW better, but the way he wants to do it should not mean we need to sacrifice our own. I think it’s important that it stops now.”
With Moxley’s reign becoming synonymous with chaos, Cassidy is stepping into the ring not just for himself, but for the AEW locker room and the fans who believe in a brighter future for the company.
Will Cassidy rise to the occasion and put an end to Moxley’s destructive path, or will Moxley solidify his reign of terror at Full Gear?
