Orange Cassidy is an AEW champion for the first time, having defeated PAC to win the All-Atlantic Championship on last night's episode of Dynamite.

It was PAC and Cassidy's fourth singles bout in AEW and a rematch of their previous All-Atlantic Title clash on the 21 September Grand Slam special, where PAC cheated to win, keeping the rivalry going. Last night, 'The Bastard' once again attempted to use the bell hammer to get past Cassidy. He was thwarted by Danhausen, however, who took PAC's attention, giving the official time to notice the hammer.

PAC found a second weapon after the first was removed, but he was done. Cassidy hit the Orange Punch twice consecutively to land the infall and bring home the belt.

Dynamite closed on Cassidy celebrating with Best Friends in the ring. In victory, 'Freshly Squeezed' becomes the second All-Atlantic Champion since the belt's June inception, when PAC was crowned the inaugural title-holder at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.

Cassidy, who has continually been amongst AEW's most over babyfaces since the promotion launched in 2019, ended PAC's reign on 108 days and six successful defences.
