Orange Cassidy calls PAC his greatest rival, praises AEW locker-room support after recent deaths
In a Going Ringside interview, Orange Cassidy said his matches with PAC stand out as his top rivalry and that AEW locker-room support has helped wrestlers after the recent deaths of PAC and Andy Williams.
In an interview with Going Ringside, Orange Cassidy said his rivalry with PAC stands out above others from his time in All Elite Wrestling and praised the support within the AEW locker room following recent losses.
Cassidy listed several notable programs — including runs involving the Death Riders, Jon Moxley and Yuta, and his work with Chris Jericho — but said his matches with PAC were uniquely meaningful and that PAC will remain his greatest rival.
He also addressed a difficult stretch for AEW after the recent deaths of PAC and Andy Williams, saying spending time with colleagues has helped team members support one another and remember the positive contributions of those they lost.
The two men met in singles competition on AEW television and pay-per-view five times. Their first singles match was at AEW Revolution 2020, which PAC won; that bout was rated three and three-quarter stars by Dave Meltzer. Cassidy later beat PAC to capture what was then the AEW All-Atlantic Championship on the October 12, 2022 Dynamite in Toronto, a match Meltzer rated four and one-quarter stars. Their most recent singles meeting occurred on the October 7, 2025 Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite, with Cassidy winning in a match Meltzer rated four stars.
Cassidy's full appearance on Going Ringside was published Thursday; the interview segment about his rivalry with PAC is cued in the video.
