Orange Cassidy is still your AEW International Champion.
Cassidy defeated Swerve Strickland on this evening’s edition of AEW Dynamite from Colorado Springs. Swerve brought the fight to Cassidy and nearly won the title when he hit Cassidy with his Swerve Stomp. However, Cassidy would kick out and pick up the win after trapping Swerve in a cradle pin. This marks Cassidy’s 24th successful title defense since he won it from PAC back in the fall of 2022.
Highlights from the matchup can be found below.
