#1: Chris Jericho won against Orange Cassidy as the latter established himself as a legit star

The main event of the second night of AEW Fyter Fest was a good conclusion to Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy's current rivalry, or at least, I'm assuming that both Superstars will move to other feuds from this point onwards.

Even though Le Champion won the match, Cassidy's character has grown over the course of this angle. When he was first introduced, most AEW fans viewed Cassidy as an entertaining gimmick on the sidelines, but last night, Orange Cassidy proved that he can hang with the big boys too.

The man can clearly wrestle in an AEW ring, and the fact that his character holds back all of that talent and only releases it in short bursts makes Cassidy different from the rest of the pack.

Also, Jericho had accomplices (Santana & Ortiz) who made sure that Orange Cassidy wouldn't have an easy journey, so even though Jericho's character needed all that help to succeed, it was "The King of Sloth Style" that cemented himself as an important pillar for the promotion at AEW Fyter Fest.
