10 Crazy Wrestler Truths We Just Learned
7. Orange Cassidy Has Now Defended His Gold More Than Any Champion In AEW History
AEW has boasted some terrific fighting champions over the course of its first four years of mayhem.
'Hangman' Adam Page welcomed all AEW World Championship challengers, taking down the likes of Bryan Danielson, Lance Archer, and Adam Cole.
Jon Moxley similarly enjoyed the challenge of testing himself against the best AEW had to offer.
And Jade Cargill set a record for most successful title defences during her impressive run as the inaugural TBS Champion.
A record that stood for a whopping two months before another champ just unexpectedly overtook the dominant Women's Champion on July 15.
Over the course of one of the most surprisingly epic runs in recent wrestling history, Orange Cassidy has somehow defended his International Championship a whopping 26 different times, arguably turning the strap into a more coveted belt than the TNT gold in the process.
It's a crazy stat that few honestly ever saw coming when 'Freshly Squeezed' first toppled PAC back in October 2022. But his clever besting of Lance Archer at Battle of the Belts VII has now firmly established this layabout genius as the true workhorse Champion of AEW.
