On AEW Dynamite last night, the match between Orange Cassidy and PAC was ended early. Cassidy was noticeably hurt following a powerbomb and he had also took a stiff superkick to the face.
After some stalling, Kenny Omega hit PAC in the back of the head with the title belt and both wrestlers were unable to make Aubrey Edwards’ 10-count. The match was declared a draw and both Orange and PAC will face Omega for the title at Double or Nothing.
Cassidy was generally ‘okay’ and will be good to go by May 30th for the PPV. He was seen socializing with others in the back after the show and does not seem to have sustained any significant injuries.
Orange Cassidy Update (5/13)
The injury scare was also addressed on Wrestling Observer Radio. It was noted that the planned finish of the match had been a 20-minute time-limit draw. It had always been the plan for a 3-way match at Double or Nothing.
“They were going to do the 3-way at the PPV and the hope is that they will still do the 3-way at the PPV. It depends on Orange Cassidy,” said Dave Meltzer. “Although, he was fine later in the night but he took a nasty kick in the face and the powerbomb looked kind of ugly too. And he was knocked out, or close to knocked out, whatever it was.”
“They were going to a 20-minute draw, that was the plan. They were about 14-minutes in when this happened,” he continued.
