AEW fans may need to prepare for life without Orange Cassidyat least for a while. The former International Champion is reportedly sidelined with a suspected torn pectoral muscle, and it could keep him out longer than expected.
Cassidy last wrestled two weeks ago in a wild triple threat with Ricochet and Mike Bailey. While its unclear exactly when the injury happened, internal reports suggest the early indication was that Cassidy possibly tore his pectoral muscle.
Theres been no official announcement from AEW, but word behind the scenes is that Cassidy could be out for a significant stretch. With AEW already reworking major plans due to Jay Whites injury, Cassidys absence is piling onto an already tough situation.
If the injury is as serious as believed, Cassidy might need surgery and a long recovery. Cassidys injury is expected to keep him out of action for quite some time if its as bad as it appears, sources familiar with the situation to Fightful Select.
Thats a brutal blow for AEW, especially with big shows like Dynasty on the horizon and the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament heating up.
Orange Cassidys absence couldnt come at a worse time for AEW, and fans are already feeling the void. If surgery is on the table, we might not see the King of Sloth Style in action for the rest of the year. AEWs injury list is growing fastand its forcing major shakeups behind the curtain.
