Orange Cassidy Admits Six-Month Injury Hiatus Was His Longest in 20 Years

Orange Cassidy suffered a torn pectoral muscle back in March of this year and it took him 6 months to recover and make his return to AEW television. He missed out on a lot of events and now Cassidy mentioned being away from the ring for the longest time in 20 years.

While speaking to New York Post Sports, Orange Cassidy opened up about dealing with his torn pectoral muscle and how difficult it has been to miss so much time.

Cassidy explained that being injured teaches you a lot about yourself and your body, and since he has dealt with plenty of injuries in his career, this one stood out as the longest stretch he has been out of wrestling in over twenty years.

Cassidy found it hard to just watch the shows, especially missing big events like the All In pay-per-view in Texas and the trip to Australia. Cassidy said he had always been part of those major milestones, so it felt strange not being there. That made him even more determined to return, because he didnâ€t want to miss out on those moments again.

“You learn a lot about yourself and your body when you get hurt. And Iâ€ve been hurt quite a lot. This is the longest Iâ€ve ever been out of wrestling in over 20 years. It was hard to watch the show while being away from it. I wasnâ€t there for the All In show in Texas, I wasnâ€t there for Australia, I wasnâ€t there for a lot of these big milestones. And I was part of all the other ones. So it made me feel like I needed to get back as soon as possible because how dare they do those things without me? I need to be there.â€

Orange Cassidy made his in-ring return during the September 24th edition of AEW Dynamite where he teamed up with the Conglomerate in tag team action. He is also set to challenge Kyle Fletcher for the TNT Championship on AEW Dynamite this week. Regardless, fans are just glad heâ€s back in action and thatâ€s all that matters in the end.
