AEW star Orange Cassidy has made it clear that he is not interested in becoming the face of the promotion.
On the latest edition of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley and the Blackpool Combat Club yet again wreaked havoc and this time around assaulted Chuck Taylor. Claudio Castagnoli even stomped him with a steel chair wrapped around his neck before Orange Cassidy rushed down to attend to his best friend.
Orange Cassidy told Good Karma Wrestling that doesn\'t believe he is the face of AEW nor he wants that. He said:
\"No, and I don\'t think that I am, nor should I be. I don\'t want that. I never wanted that. I wanted to do what I had to do and go home. After what happened last night, it\'s been made very clear to me that I think I have no choice in the situation. Before, early in AEW, there was always this thing of \'Oh, he\'s going to try. He\'ll care this time.\' I don\'t feel that I have any choice in this matter. I have to fight now. I have to fight. I don\'t want to, but if the people around me that I care about the most are going to be hurt, then I really have no choice in the matter.\
He then reflected on what went down on Wednesday night and said that he never imagined that Taylor would get assaulted by BCC. Orange Cassidy said:
\"At that very moment, it was, I was literally one second late. I slid into the ring right as Claudio was stomping the chair on his neck. I\'m not very calculated, obviously, I just react. All day, I was just reacting. Earlier in the night, Chuck said stuff to me that I needed to hear, it\'s what a good friend would do. I\'m just reacting. I never thought I\'d see him laid out again. He was injured before by Trent, and to see that again, it\'s something I never thought I would have to see, but I did. At that moment, I don\'t want to take the cop out answer and say I blacked out. Just everything that was going on, it wasn\'t something I expected. All of my thoughts will be made clear on Dynamite. The Fright Night thing.\
Orange Cassidy has said that his thoughts will be made clear on next week\'s AEW Fright Night Dynamite. The show is set to air live on TBS and will emanate from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
