Orange Cassidy, a prominent figure in AEW, held the International Championship for an impressive 471 days across two reigns. His first reign was particularly notable, with 31 successful title defenses over 326 days. This remarkable run came to an end at AEW All Out 2023, where Jon Moxley defeated Cassidy in a historic match that headlined the pay-per-view event for the first time in the title’s history.

In a recent interview on Q101 Radio, Cassidy reflected on his match with Moxley, describing it as a significant moment in his career. He praised Moxley’s abilities and acknowledged the emotional impact of the match, which ended with Cassidy bloodied in the ring but receiving a standing ovation from fans. Cassidy expressed gratitude for the experience, calling it a moment he never thought he’d get to have.

Regarding the possibility of reclaiming the title, Cassidy admitted to feeling incomplete without the International Championship. He described his backpack as feeling lighter and emptier without the belt. While he expressed a desire to regain the title, Cassidy emphasized that he would only pursue it when the time is right.
