Orange Cassidy and former AEW World Champion Chris Jericho have been at odds over the past several weeks on Dynamite. Jericho has bloodied up Orange Cassidy and Cassidy returned the favor by either brawling with or evading Jericho. On the 6/17 episode of Dynamite, Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara took on Chuck Taylor and Trent in the main event. If Jericho and Guevara had won, they would’ve replaced Best Friends in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match at Fyter Fest.
As the match was coming to a close, Sammy Guevara hit the ropes and was tripped up by a cameraman that was none other than Orange Cassidy. The interference led to Best Friends getting the win and after the match, Orange Cassidy took the fight to Jericho. It was then made official that the two will meet at Fyter Fest on either July 1st or July 8th.
The crazy thing is: This is 2% power from @orangecassidy, lets hope @IAmJericho is ready for Cassidy at #FyterFest as it was made official by @TonyKhan! pic.twitter.com/ouu4sFgUjw
