AEW President Tony Khan discloses top star's injury nixed storyline plans involving Danhausen
AEW President Tony Khan recently spoke about scrapped plans for Danhausen and Orange Cassidy, owing to the latter's shoulder injury.
The Face of the Revolution ladder match at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view involved a number of heavy-hitting contestants. In the midst of the action, Orange Cassidy fell prey to a particularly nasty bump. At one point, Keith Lee threw 'Freshly Squeezed' out of the ring over the top rope, resulting in the latter suffering a significant impact to his shoulder.
Tony Khan recently appeared on Robbie Fox’s My Mom’s Basement podcast recently, where he disclosed that Cassidy's injury resulted in scrapped plans for him and Danhausen to continue working together at Revolution.
