1. Another Winner For Orange Cassidy

Orange Cassidy has become one of the most dependable wrestlers in AEW, and he's been amassing an impressive body of work since snagging the All-Atlantic Title from PAC in October 2022. The dude can do no wrong right now. He had another winner of a match vs. Lee Moriarty this week.

Give it a look if you're a fan of All Elite's young lions.

Moriarty's aggression was notable, but so was Cassidy's engagement with the crowd (that hands-in-pockets spot always gets a pop) and the goofier Danhausen/Stokely Hathaway banter outside the ring. Whilst it's true few will remember this match a month from now, that doesn't mean it shouldn't get an 'Up'.

Long may this kind of performance from Orange continue. Here's hoping he's handed something to work towards in time for Revolution, because Cassidy defending the All-Atlantic belt would be a solid addition to that pay-per-view's lower card.
