#11. Steven Stetson vs. Orange Cassidy on AEW Dark
It was good to see Cassidy back in singles action on AEW Dark. Cassidy grabbed Stetson's cowboy hat, and he locked in a modified scorpion deathlock while wearing it.
A nonchalant Cassidy lost the hat but hit a big dropkick. He went on a kip-up spree, and the referee put the sunglasses back on Cassidy when he returned to a vertical base. Classic Cassidy on display!
Stetson got in some offense, but Cassidy hit the Orange punch out of nowhere. Orange finished the match with the Beach Break.
Result: Orange Cassidy def. Steven Stetson on AEW Dark
