#2 Orange Cassidy
The man who 'tries' once in a while, Orange Cassidy has a dedicated fan following in AEW. For months, he barely wrestled other than assisting the Best Friends down to the ring. But his match with Pac at AEW Revolution was one of the more entertaining matches on the card and proved how over he is as a character.
Some fans may forget, but it was Orange Cassidy who thwarted The Dark Order from kidnapping Trent at AEW All Out last year. A feud with Matt Hardy down the line would make for great entertainment value. It is more in line with what Matt Hardy wants to do and be extremely creative.
Matt Hardy only has 3 or 4 years left as an in-ring competitor and his creative outlook was very different of that of WWE. He said:
"The reason I needed to leave WWE was because, when it comes to my creative stance, and my creative outlook on myself and my career and how I want it to go for these last 3 or 4 years that I have to spend as an active in-ring competitor. "
A match with Orange Cassidy would be the step in the right direction, if he signs with AEW.
