Orange Cassidy fans hoping for his return to AEW are going to be waiting a while. Nearly five months after suffering a suspected torn pectoral muscle, theres still no timeline for the former International Champion to step back in the ring.
During a recent Q&A session on the Fightful Select podcast, Sean Ross Sapp gave the latest update on Cassidys statusand it doesnt sound promising.
The injury, which was first reported in February 2025, occurred around the time of Cassidys triple threat match with Ricochet and Mike Bailey. It remains unclear exactly when the injury happened, but concerns over a torn pec have lingered ever since.
Torn pectoral muscles are no joke in the world of sports. Athletes dealing with that type of injury typically face a recovery window of 6 to 9 months, depending on the severity and whether surgery is required. Even after being medically cleared, it often takes additional time to ease back into storylines and get fully re-integrated into TV programming.
For now, it looks like the King of Sloth Style is stuck on the sidelines, and theres no telling when hell be clearedor when AEW will slot him back into the mix. With torn pec injuries known to drag out recovery, Orange Cassidy might be out of the picture for months to come, whether fans like it or not. How would you bring him back when the times right?
