The winner of the match between Orange Cassidy and Penta El Zero Miedo will not only hold the prestigious championship, but they will also move on to a marquee match at AEW All Out at the United Center on Sunday, September 3, against Jon Moxley. The former three-time AEW World Champion has been embroiled in a bitter feud with both men, and the current champion believes Moxley is the final name he needs to tick off his list of opponents.

“I have pinned Wheeler Yuta twice, and now tonight, I have pinned Claudio Castagnoli,” Cassidy said. “There is one more person that I want to pin, there’s one more person that I want to beat — Jon Moxley, the winner of this match on Wednesday.”

After grueling and entertaining 30-straight title defences, Cassidy’s body has continued to be an issue, with his well-documented injury factoring into the finish of the Stadium Stampede bout. Throughout his workhorse title reign, Cassidy has defeated the likes of Daniel Garcia, Swerve Strickland, and PAC, cementing himself as one of the promotion’s most reliable stars. 

Also announced at the media conference by Tony Khan was a singles match between Konosuke Takeshita and Kenny Omega at All Out following the events of their six-man tag bout on Sunday.
