Orange Cassidy will be in action on the June 29 edition of AEW Dynamite.
AEW president Tony Khan has announced that “Freshly Squeezed” will face Ethan Page in a singles match on the special “Blood & Guts” edition of the show. Page’s manager Dan Lambert issued the challenge for the match and stated that Cassidy epitomized the “lazy undersized” wrestles AEW fans idolize. Cassidy came up short against Will Ospreay in a buzzworthy bout at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door on June 26.
