Orange Cassidy Retained

Orange Cassidy defended the All-Atlantic Championship against QT Marshall in a Lumberjack match in the main event of this week’s episode of AEW Rampage. Mark Henry interviewed both competitors before the match.

QT was in control of the match when Rampage went to the final break of the night. Cassidy battled back with a Tornado DDT but Marshall retreated out of the ring. The Lumberjacks surrounded The Factory but QT capitalized on the distracted.

Marshall set up for a Piledriver on the ring apron but Danhausen hopped on the ring apron. He tried to curse QT but obviously, it didn’t work. A brawl broke out and Cassidy flipped onto everyone with an awesome springboard move.

Back in the ring, Cassidy climbed to the top rope as Penelope Ford watched on. Penelope hopped on the ring apron and Kip Sabian showed up from behind. Kip shoved Cassidy off the top turnbuckle and into a Cutter from QT but somehow Orange kicked out at two. Cassidy hit the Orange Punch and followed it up with Beach Break to retain the All-Atlantic Championship.

The champion leveled Kip Sabian with a dive through the ropes but Sabian battled back. Kip stomped on Cassidy on the entrance ramp before the lights went out. House of Black showed up in the ring and the crowd cheered. House of Black took out everyone and stood tall to close the show.
