That's Different: Details On How An Illness Changed Title Match Plans At This Week's AEW Dynamite

They had plans. Wrestling promotions can put together a plan for any given event but that does not mean it is going to work out in the end. There are all kinds of reasons that something might be changed and you never know how things are going to shift on the way to the event. Unfortunately that was the case again this week as a planned match was not able to go on.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the original plans for this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite called for Orange Cassidy to defend the International Title against Trent Beretta. However, the match did not take place as Beretta had to miss the show due to a legitimate illness. Instead of facing Beretta, Cassidy fought Mike Bennett in a non-title match. There is no word on when Beretta will be returning to the ring.

It was a busy show. Check out what we got on Dynamite instead:

Opinion: That certainly would have been a different way to go though I’m not sure how much sense it makes. Cassidy has been dealing with the Undisputed Kingdom almost exclusively over the last few weeks and it would be a bit odd to see him shift gears towards Beretta, even for a single week. We got a nice match as a result, though hopefully Beretta is back in the ring soon.
