First-Time Ever Match Set for AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen

AEW’s New Year’s Day Dynamite is bringing the heat with a first-time-ever matchup that has fans ready to kick off 2025 in style. Tony Khan broke the news on Twitter, announcing Orange Cassidy vs. Hangman Page, set to headline Fight for the Fallen.

“This Wed, Jan 1, Asheville, NC, Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite, 8pm ET/7pm CT, on TBS + MAX,” Khan tweeted. “On New Year’s Day, OC vs Hangman 1-on-1 for the first time ever!”

Cassidy and Page, two of AEW’s most dynamic stars, are no strangers to electrifying crowds, but this will mark their first singles clash. With their contrasting styles—Cassidy’s laid-back, unorthodox approach against Hangman’s hard-hitting, athletic arsenal—the stage is set for an unforgettable showdown.

This match isn’t just about fireworks in the ring; it’s part of AEW’s special Fight for the Fallen event, a charity-driven show aimed at supporting victims of Hurricane Helene. The stakes are high, with the bout also taking place during AEW’s simulcast on both TBS and MAX, marking “The Mother of All Simulcasts.”

Cassidy, fresh off a stellar 2024, looks to continue his momentum, while Hangman Page is out to cement his place as a top-tier competitor in 2025. Both men have something to prove, and fans can expect an intense, action-packed battle.

Don’t miss AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen this Wednesday, January 1, as wrestling kicks off the new year with this epic match and more. As a reminder, Ringside News will have live play-by-play coverage.
