On the August 16 episode of AEW Dynamite, Wheeler Yuta will challenge Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship.
Yuta came into AEW as a member of the Best Friends with Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta, and Chuck Taylor, but he turned on the group to join William Regal, Jon Moxley, and Bryan Danielson in the Blackpool Combat Club.
Speaking on the Chase McCabe Show, Tony Khan discussed the AEW International Title tilt.
"They know each other very well. Wheeler Yuta is Orange Cassidy's protege. Honestly, Orange Cassidy is the person who brought Wheeler Yuta into AEW in the first place. He's the person that brought him to my attention. He's his former coach and a person who really mentored him in pro wrestling, in AEW, and in Philadelphia training him," said Khan.
Cassidy previously defeated Yuta on the February 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, successfully defending the AEW International Championship (previously the AEW All-Atlantic Championship).
Fightful will have live coverage of AEW Dynamite beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
