AEW Star Matt Hardy compares Orange Cassidy with WWE legend The Undertaker

AEW star Matt Hardy sees a resemblance between the relationship of Orange Cassidy and President Tony Khan to that of The Undertaker and Vince McMahon.

During an episode of "The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy," where Hardy drew a comparison between the two, he said:

"In some ways, Orange Cassidy to Tony [Khan], at this stage right now, reminds me of the relationship between Vince McMahon and The Undertaker," Hardy said. "[Taker] was like Vince's go-to guy, a guy that Vince knew could go out and get the job done. On top of that, those guys were both great wrestlers but played outlandish and over-the-top gimmicks. There's a crazy similarity there." Hardy said.

This comparison offers an interesting perspective on the dynamics between wrestlers and promotion executives. Thus, leaving fans intrigued about the future of Cassidy's career in All Elite Wrestling.
