I would have no issues at all with Orange Cassidy vs. Chris Jericho as a standalone AEW match if it was not leading up to Chris Jericho vs. Mike Tyson. The only issue with the whole thing is that even though he showcased a serious aspect to his personality on AEW Dynamite this week, a match against Orange Cassidy, who is essentially a comedy character, will diminish the seriousness of Jericho's character.

I enjoy both Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy and I would have been thrilled at a match between the two, had the contest not happened at Fyter Fest ahead of the inevitable AEW showdown between Mike Tyson and Chris Jericho. I am also not sure about Orange Cassidy showing such a serious side to his persona, from a long-term perspective, but hey, one is bound to change after a brutal attack, right?
That said, I am sure that when the match eventually happens between Jericho and Cassidy, it will be a really entertaining contest.
