#4 Orange Cassidy as AEW TNT Champion?

Orange Cassidy is a fan favorite and is currently in the midst of the most high-profile rivalry of his career as he's locked horns with Chris Jericho in recent weeks. Cassidy even boasts a win over the inaugural AEW World Champion and with the rivalry ongoing there remains potential for him to gain even more.

These recent developments have added real credibility to Cassidy's character and suggest AEW see his character as more multi-faceted than just comedic relief. Just how far Cassidy's push will go remains to be seen but why not ride his current momentum to a run with the company's secondary belt?

Cassidy doesn't necessarily need to come out on top in his feud with Jericho, just continue to come across as a talented enough wrestler who can never be ruled out from sneaking an upset. He can comfortably leverage his win over the former World Champion into a No. 1 contender's bout for the TNT belt. AEW can then run with the story of Cassidy as an unlikely title contender until the underdog wins the TNT Championship.
