We saw footage of an interaction between Kenny Omega and Orange Cassidy. Omega was with Don Callis and they told Orange Cassidy to give up the rights to his match against Kenny Omega and PAC at Double or Nothing, saying that Orange could have his match later instead. Orange Cassidy decided to tear up the contract Callis and Omega presented to him.
They proceeded to ask Orange to take some time and think about it before giving an answer.
