New Stipulation Added To Chris Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy

It makes things more interesting. There are a lot of ways to spice up a wrestling match and one of the best is by adding a stipulation. This could be any of a long list of things, as some are a lot bigger and more intense than others. Sometimes you need to do something to even a match out and ensure a level playing field though, and that is what we will be seeing next week.

One of the biggest feuds currently taking place in AEW is Chris Jericho vs. Orange Cassidy. For some reason Jericho just cannot shake Cassidy and thinks very little of him. The two have already met in a major showdown in the main event of AEW Fyter Fest in July but things were not done yet. They are meeting again next week on Dynamite, but there is going to be a bit of a twist.

AEW has announced that Cassidy vs. Jericho will not only be for the $7,000 that Jericho says Cassidy owes him for a ruined jacket, but has also added the stipulation that both the Inner Circle will be banned from ringside. The match was announced during the July 29 Dynamite when Jericho demanded that Cassidy repay him the $7,000 for his jacket, which Cassidy ruined with orange juice.

This Wednesday on Dynamite – It's a rematch as @IAmJericho takes on @orangecassidy in a $7,000 obligation match and as an extra added stipulation, the Inner Circle & Best Friends are BANNED from ringside!

They’ve come a long way. Check out how we got here:

Opinion: This is a situation where AEW has set things up rather well. For the life of me I can’t imagine seeing Cassidy lose again here and there is really no need for him to do so. At the same time though, it is almost impossible to imagine Cassidy defeating Jericho in a straight up singles match. Maybe they have a way out, but odds are Cassidy comes away with the win. What does he do then though?

What do you think of the stipulation? How will the match go? Let us know in the comments below.
