Major update on whether Orange Cassidy would require surgery after sustaining injury at AEW Revolution 2022
This year's AEW Revolution pay-per-view featured the annual Face of the Revolution match, which set six competitors against one another for a shot at the TNT title. Near the end of the match, Orange Cassidy sustained a shoulder injury after being tossed out of the ring.
The spot occurred when Cassidy was hurled over the ropes by Keith Lee. Unfortunately, "Freshly Squeezed" overshot Christian and Ricky Starks, who were supposed to catch him, and crashed to the floor. He was quickly checked over by doctors ringside and didn't return to the match.
The Wrestling Observer has now reported the shoulder injury to be a serious one, but the Dynamite broadcast team confirmed that it will not require surgery.

Orange Cassidy has appeared on AEW programming since, but his arm is in a sling, and he will remain out of action for a while. He was ringside for the last-minute addition to Dynamite last week which saw Best Friends stablemate Wheeler Yuta take on PAC.

It's been confirmed that Wheeler Yuta will be in action again on this week's St. Patrick's Day Slam edition of Dynamite. He will team with Chuck Taylor to face the newborn tag team of Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley.
While Yuta and Taylor will undoubtedly receive backing from Orange Cassidy, Trent Berretta and Danhausen, all eyes will be on Danielson and Mox. The Revolution foes-turned-partners have been joined by William Regal, forming a trinity of violence that promises to educate the roster in their brutal ways.
Bryan and Moxley teamed last week on Dynamite, where they faced the Workhorsemen duo of JD Drake and Anthony Henry. Following their convincing win, William Regal cut a promo declaring that anyone who failed to "step up" will be "stepped on".
