Orange Cassidy (w/ Chuck Taylor & Kris Statlander) vs. Angelico (w/ Jack Evans) on AEW Dark: Elevation
Orange Cassidy and Angelico were amongst the 'coolest' dudes in AEW, but who was better? The crowd was certainly in favor of Cassidy, who got a predictably solid reaction during his entrance.
Angelico was also quite well-liked as there were a few members in the crowd replicating his goofy dance. Angelico took Cassidy's shades right off the referee's hands and put them on like a true heel.

Orange got hold of his sunglasses, got them on, and began his routine offense. The hands were in the pocket, and the King of Sloth Style was in prime form as he connected with a perfect dropkick and a tope suicida.
Kris Statlander stopped Jack Evans' attempts to interfere in the match, but Angelico still messed up Cassidy's rhythm with a Pele kick off his back.
Angelico stamped his authority in the match with a combination of strikes in the corner. The TH2 member had Cassidy in a weird surfboard-style submission for a few seconds before going back to the striking game.
Orange began his comeback with a swift evasive sequence that ended in a tornado DDT. He called for the Orange Punch, but Angelico reversed it into a pinning predicament. Angelico blocked the Beach Break before going for the Navarro Death Roll. Cassidy fought out of the move but ate a kick.
Angelico trapped Cassidy on the turnbuckle for a dropkick to the thighs. Orange, however, outsmarted Angelico with a mousetrap pinfall move for the win on AEW Dark: Elevation.
