Orange Cassidy is still your AEW International Champion.
Cassidy defeated Aussie Open’s Kyle Flether on this evening’s episode of AEW Dynamite from Las Vegas, the final Dynamite before this Sunday’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Fletcher nearly won the match on several occasions but the champ secured the victory after trapping Fletcher in a cradle pin. This marks Cassidy’s 22nd successful defense of the AEW International Championship. He will defend the title at Double or Nothing in a Blackjack Battle Royale.
Highlights from the matchup can be found below.
