Orange Cassidy explains the bond he and the other members of The Conglomeration have and expresses his desire to punch Wheeler Yuta in the face when they're on opposite ends of a tag team encounter on the September 4 episode of AEW Dynamite.
Orange Cassidy used to have some best friends, but now he is part of a conglomeration. In fact, he is part of The Conglomeration in AEW. Other members of The Conglomeration include Kyle O'Reilly, Mark Briscoe, "Big Tom" Tomohiro Ishii, Willow Nightingale, and Little Jay Briscoe.
Speaking to Fightful's Iridian Fierro for WGN Radio, Cassidy hyped the upcoming match on the September 4 AEW Dynamite, where he will team with Kyle O'Reilly and AEW International Champion Will Ospreay against the current AEW World Trios Champions PAC, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta.
Orange Cassidy explained his history with his three opponents for the evening; he also detailed how The Conglomeration came together and their bond as individuals who were feeling lost on their respective journeys.
"I mean, obviously, I have some deep-rooted issues with Wheeler Yuta. There's a lot of history there. I helped train him, and then he left me to go team with a bunch of bullies that beat people up," he said. "Then, like I mentioned before, PAC, I think he's been my greatest rival here in AEW, since the beginning. We've had many, many different matches against each other. He's, obviously, he's one of the best ever to do it. Then you have Claudio, who's a monster. He's Claudio. He's incredible. They're all very mean, and they hit very hard.
"So I'm glad I have Will Ospreay on my team," continued Cassidy. "Also, Kyle O'Reilly, who is part of the group, The Conglomeration. Honestly, this is a bunch of words I don't think people are going to understand, but I'm in a group of people who like to conglomerate. That's Willow Nightingale, who you said was on your show before, Mark Briscoe, Kyle, O'Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii. We're all together. We're a bunch of people who just love to conglomerate [and] get after it. We were actually going through all the same things. When my friends decided to ditch me, leave me alone, and turn their back on me, I was alone. I was lost, and you shut down. I decided to open up, and I found out there's a bunch of people going through the same thing that I'm going through, and we all decided to come together and band together. So that is what The Conglomeration is all about. So it's going to be interesting tonight. Hopefully, I can punch Yuta in the face, get some revenge."
In the past, Cassidy has opened up about how the betrayal of his friends made him question himself and whether or not he is a toxic friend. Read his comments here.
