They Couldn’t Help It: Here Is The Very Specific Reason Behind A Surprise AEW Title Change

That’s a good reason. Every so often, you will see something happen on a wrestling show that might make you scratch your head a bit. Whatever plan might have seemed to be ready just doesn’t take place for some reason and things get a little confusing. That seems to have taken place last week but now we have an idea of why it happened, and things do make sense.

Earlier this week on Dynamite, Orange Cassidy defeated Rey Fenix to regain the AEW International Championship. Fenix won the title less than a month earlier when former champion Jon Moxley had been injured during their title match. According to Fightful Select, Fenix is currently dealing with visa issues, meaning AEW made the decision to have Fenix drop the title. Moxley was planned to win the title back but he was not cleared to wrestle, meaning Cassidy got the title back instead. Cassidy had not been considered for the title until the day of the show.

Those are some talented people. Check out all three in question:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that is beyond AEW’s control as visa issues can be quite the tricky situation. On occasion you will see wrestlers have to deal with such a situation as there is only so much that can be done to speed up the process. Hopefully Fenix is back in the ring sooner than later, as this is something he cannot really fix and now we have to wait and see what is next for him.

What do you think of the title change? How long will Cassidy hold the title? Let us know in the coments below.
