10 Wrestlers AEW Should Build To Dethrone MJF

6. Orange Cassidy

In the wake of his outstanding battle with Will Ospreay at Forbidden Door, it actually felt as though Tony Khan could've possibly ran with Orange Cassidy as an unexpected AEW World Championship contender again if he felt like it. And the audience would've definitely lapped it up.

But instead, the AEW President opted to hold off on nudging his Freshly Squeezed favourite back into the main event spotlight. Cassidy was gifted with an All-Atlantic title reign for his consistently brilliant efforts on October 12's Dynamite, at least.

However, rather than distract fans from the idea of Cassidy finally reaching the top of the mountain after being one of the promotion's most over acts for years, said hilarious and engaging All-Atlantic run has only served as a reminder why an Orange spell with the AEW World Championship could make for television gold.

Just imagine MJF absolutely losing his mind over Cassidy's half-arsed antics. And the look of utter shock if he's somehow bested by the one performer who puts in less effort than the arrogant figure who thinks such a thing is for "poors".

Even if it only acted as a brief detour, with MJF later reclaiming the strap via despicable actions, there's no denying that building towards a shock Cassidy Triple B win could make for one of the loudest pops in AEW history.
