Orange Cassidy is responsible for bringing Wheeler Yuta into the fold in All Elite Wrestling.
Cassidy, who will defend the AEW International Championship against Yuta on tonight’s edition of AEW Dynamite, originally was aligned with Yuta in the Best Friends. However, Yuta would be recruited by the Blackpool Combat Club and has become a much more serious and focused wrestler as a result.
Speaking on the Chase McCabe Show, Tony Khan discussed the AEW International Title match scheduled for tonight’s AEW Dynamite.
“They know each other very well. Wheeler Yuta is Orange Cassidy’s protege. Honestly, Orange Cassidy is the person who brought Wheeler Yuta into AEW in the first place. He’s the person that brought him to my attention. He’s his former coach and a person who really mentored him in pro wrestling, in AEW, and in Philadelphia training him,”
Tony Khan
We will have to wait and see if Yuta can knock off his former mentor and once again become a champion.
