#4. AEW signs Orange Cassidy

AEW added to name to their burgeoning roster by announcing the signing Organe Cassidy, who is quite a popular figure on the indie circuit. His offbeat gimmick of simultaneously being aloof and incredibly cool has always spawned many entertaining moments. His performance at Double or Nothing was one of the biggest talking points from AEW's monumental show.

AEW put out an amazing video in which Cassidy confirmed signing a contract with the promotion.

Earlier in the week, Cody Rhodes revealed that the company has disclosed details of only 40% of the entire roster. By the looks of it, Cody and boys at AEW are certainly building something great.
