Orange Cassidy On Regaining AEW International Title, Felt Lost After Losing It

Orange Cassidy is grateful to have regained the AEW International Championship and doesn’t plan to let it go again. Cassidy defeated Rey Fenix a couple of weeks ago to regain the title that he lost to Jon Moxley at All Out, and he recently spoke with Bex & Buster for a new interview in which he discussed regaining the title. You can see some highlights below, per Fightful:

On what’s next for his title reign: “I don’t ever plan to [let the title go]. I didn’t plan on losing in the first place. I get that question a lot. ‘What’s next for you?’ I never like to think too far ahead. This is the most important thing, and it was the most important thing. When I lost it, I was kind of like, I didn’t really feel like I had a purpose, which is bizarre for a human being to say, and it’s something I never thought I would experience. When your identity, for almost a year, is that you’re the International Champion that is so used to wrestling and defending the belt every single week, and when you don’t, you’re kind of lost.”

On regaining the title: “When the opportunity came up of me trying to get it back, I obviously took it. Rey Fenix is one of the best wrestlers in the world, but he was banged up, if not as bad or worse than I was when I lost it. I have it now, I’m very grateful, there’s unfinished business I have with this, and it has to do with the person that took it from me in the first place. I feel like I have something to prove now. The first time around, I was just defending it to win. I don’t think I have to prove anything to anybody, ever, but for some reason I think I do. Maybe it’s in my head.”
