Orange Cassidy's First Title Defence Set For AEW Rampage

AEW are set to return to Daily’s place on October 21 for a live edition of Rampage, and have announced that All Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy will put the gold on the line for the first time on the show.

The match was set via a video posted on AEW’s social media accounts. The video was to hype up the pending Preston Vance vs. RUSH match, with the two being interviewed by Alex Marvez at a bar as Vance once again turned down RUSH and Jose the Assistant’s offer to join LFI. Cassidy then pops up from behind the bar with his title and offers to fight both men on Rampage, with Tony Khan at the other end of the bar on hand to sanction the match.

Cassidy is the second All Atlantic Champion, having defeated PAC for the strap at the recent AEW Dynamite in Toronto, Canada on October 12.
