#5 AEW's Orange Cassidy
Kenny Omega pulled off one of the most impressive victories of his AEW World Championship reign back at Double Or Nothing by defeating both PAC and Orange Cassidy in a three-way match. The conclusion saw Don Callis screw Orange out of the win and Omega get a crucifix pin after Cassidy hit his signature Orange Punch.
In the lead-up to the pay-per-view, PAC felt more like an add-on, while Orange Cassidy was more directly feuding with Kenny Omega. The interaction between the two men added a lot to the eventual superb three-way at Double Or Nothing 2021. However, there is plenty to go back to for Omega and Cassidy in a singles match for the AEW World Championship.
Orange Cassidy comes off the heels of two back-to-back singles wins over Matt Hardy and Jack Evans on AEW Dynamite. He was also on the winning side of the ten-man tag team Buy In Match ahead of All Out 2021. He has plenty of momentum to move up the rankings and step up to be the next challenger for the AEW World Championship.
