On October 12th, 2022, Orange Cassidy won his first championship in AEW since his debut.
He had challenged for an array of titles since he first appeared at Double or Nothing 2019 in the Casino Battle Royal, but came up short when facing off against the likes of Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes and Brodie Lee.
However, this changed when he battled with the All-Atlantic Champion PAC – his long-time rival in the company – on AEW Dynamite in Canada.
Orange Cassidy pinned PAC after an incredible match to become the All-Atlantic Champion and begun a title reign that would define Freshly Squeezed as a fighting champion in AEW.
He currently holds the record for most title defences, having defended the AEW All-Atlantic Championship 19 times (and counting), in both AEW and NJPW.
The title changed names on March 15th, 2023, before his match with Jeff Jarrett on AEW Dynamite.
After defending the belt, it became known as the AEW International Championship, a name which has stuck since the alteration.
Here is every title defence Orange Cassidy has succeeded in, following his victory over PAC to win the AEW All-Atlantic Championship (Now AEW International Championship).
