AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong will take place at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event on Sunday. To promote it, Strong was interviewed by Phil Strum for the Under the Ring podcast. Here are the highlights:
Cassidy’s on-screen character:
“I knew of him (Orange Cassidy) prior to him being Orange Cassidy, right?… and then once he became Orange Cassidy… it was one of those, exactly that, like, if he couldn’t wrestle as well as he could and can, it probably would have turned me off. But, the fact that he is so skilled, it makes it very impressive. Just how creative he is with it and it just being so different makes it so enjoyable to watch.”
On the upcoming match:
“Biggest match of my career (coming up at AEW Revolution). I do honestly (think that). It’s the most important one, I will tell you that. Like I said, he’s just set such a high standard and this is a real challenge in what I call the second phase of my career and coming back from everything and he’s just gonna be the right opponent and I just can’t wait to show the world what we can do.”
