9. Orange Cassidy Does Battle With Luchasaurus (3.9 Million Views)

This snippet centres on the six-man tag match between Jurassic Express (Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy, & Marko Stunt) vs. The Best Friends (Chuck Taylor & Trent) & Orange Cassidy. This one match in the middle of a Dynamite has since amassed millions of views.

It closes with Luchasaurus getting the big tag and taking out Chuck and Trent, so Orange tags in and we get the ludicrously great standoff between the two. Cassidy lands some ‘devastating’ shin kicks and counters Luchasaurus’s offence with a Stundog Millionaire. This is one of the first real glimpses fans got of what Cassidy was capable of other than comedy shenanigans with dropkicks and a suicide dive (no-hands tope). The match ultimately has Jungle Boy pick up the win (his first winning pin in AEW) for his team with a cradle on Chuck.

The crowd was highly invested in this match as they loved both acts. It really goes a long way to show how over Cassidy is when an act like Luchasaurus was receiving boos from the crowd for cutting off his offence. When Orange Cassidy very slowly got to his feet, the crowd hastily got to theirs, like when Cassidy went to the top rope, not to hit the usual high-risk moves you commonly see in AEW, but lazily fall/drop on Jungle Boy.
