Over 80,000 fans will pack Wembley Stadium on August 27 for AEW All In. For most of the AEW roster, it will be triple or quadruple the size of the largest audience they've ever performed in front of.
Many in AEW started on the independent scene, wrestling in front of hundred fans or less, working their way through it all to make it to AEW All In.
Orange Cassidy found himself on the independent scene and has become one of the top draws and acts in AEW, proving himself as a reliable performer as a character and in-ring competitor.
Speaking to Tempest of Wrestletalk, representing Fightful, Orange Cassidy was asked about his growth and the growth of AEW.
"I don't think about it. I actually don't think about it. I just do what I have to do. I think if I think about it too much or for too long, I'm one of those people that I kind of get lost. If I just take it day-to-day and the next thing and next thing, and stay consistent, good things happen. However, if you look back, if there are 50 people, 100 people I'm wrestling in front of. Then 200, 300, 1,000, 5,000, Grand Slam in Arthur Ashe was 20,000. Then you jump to 80,000. I don't know where that leap happened, but it is incredible. This is our first time in the UK. They've all been waiting for this. We decided, 'All you waiting, let's put you all in one place.' That's what we're doing. I've been fortunate enough to wrestle in the UK a couple of times and they have some good chants. They know what's up," he said.
Orange Cassidy is set to team with Penta El Zero Miedo, Eddie Kingston, Chuck Taylor, & Trent Beretta in the Stadium Stampede bout against Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Santana, & Ortiz.
