He has been replaced by Pride stablemate Angelo Dawkins, who will face Tama Tonga in the first round.

– Bully Ray (via Busted Open):

“I would hate any company who ever decided it was okay to have a talent no sell a piledriver on the steel steps, a teeter totter neckbreaker to iron frame of the ring, and be back up 10-15 seconds later prepared to defend themselves. Orange Cassidy should’ve been stretched out, neck in a brace, whatever.”

“This is where AEW needs a lot of help. Here is my constructive criticism, dont ever do it again.”
