Top AEW Wrestler Suffers Very Serious Injury, MJF Threatens To Send AEW Star Back To Catering Where He Belongs, Mercedes Mone Hits Big Milestone
A troubling update has emerged regarding former AEW International Champion Orange Cassidy. According to a report from Fightful Select, Cassidy is expected to be out of action for an extended period due to concerns that he may have suffered a torn pectoral muscle.
Sources indicate that Cassidy’s in-ring return is not anticipated anytime soon. While the injury may sideline him for a significant stretch, there is still a chance he could appear on AEW programming in a non-wrestling role during his recovery.
Cassidy’s last match took place on the March 19, 2025 episode of AEW Dynamite, where he competed in a four-way bout against Ricochet, Mark Davis, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. A torn pec is a serious injury that often requires surgery and a lengthy rehab process, which would explain his ongoing absence from AEW television.
Cassidy has been one of AEW’s most popular and dependable stars, known for his distinct character and consistent performances. His absence continues to be felt across AEW’s weekly shows, and as of now, no definitive timetable has been provided for his return.
MJF has some sharp words for AR Fox.
Ahead of this Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, MJF is set to compete in a high-stakes fatal four-way match against Anthony Bowens, Brody King, and AR Fox. The winner will secure the number two spot in the Men’s Casino Gauntlet match at AEW All In next month.
Taking to social media on Monday, MJF didn’t hold back, mocking AR Fox’s reaction to the match announcement and declaring that Fox “belongs in catering.”
Yeah let’s go back to catering where you belong.
Your ass is mine!!!!! https://t.co/QTbVR1nYxV
