Orange Cassidy
Even though it was a losing effort Orange Cassidy came out of his match with Chris Jericho looking like a star!Going into his match as the main event in week 2 of AEW Fyter Fest there were a lot of questions surrounding the “king of Sloth Style.”
Would he able to break out as a singles star?
What would a match look like as his style was pitted against the veteran Y2J?
And, would the casual fan take his gimmick seriously in a main event spot?
All of these questions and more were answered!
Cassidy came across as a babyface you could get behind.
There were also so many moments in the match that gave you hope that he could pull off the massive upset.
I am very excited to see what is next for Freshly Squeezed and as of this writing the sky is the limit for Orange Cassidy!
KEITH LEE
In my opinion, the standout moment from both the “Great American Bash” and Fyter Fest” was the victory by Keith Lee in his “Winner Takes All” match against Adam Cole.There has been a ton of buzz around Lee going all the way back to his face-to-face showdown with Brock Lesnar during the Royal Rumble match in January.
Although I was not overly impressed by the match Lee had against Cole, it showed that NXT has faith in the “Limitless” one as he became the first ever dual champion in NXT, holding both the North American and NXT Heavyweight champ.
This is a very unique spot to be in and I am very confident that week in and week out Keith Lee can deliver as “the man” in NXT.
TAZ
When Brock Lesnar lost his title at WrestleMania and disappeared into the night so did Paul Heyman.With Heyman’s departure, one of the best promos in pro wrestling today disappeared from weekly television.
No one was quite sure who could fill the void left by Heyman but rest assured if the last two weeks are any indication, Taz is the man for the job.
Working as the manger for Brian Cage, Taz has grabbed the microphone and cut fire promo after fire promo.
In his wake has been AEW champ Jon Moxley, the WWE COVID-19 testing protocols, and anyone else who thinks to step to either Brian Cage or Taz himself.
This has been a breath of fresh air to see such a miserable badass cut down anyone in his way. Taz’s promos have quickly turned into must-see TV.

COLT CABANA
In what I think is the most interesting storyline in AEW, Colt Cabana along with the Dark Order, picked up the victory over SCU at Fyter Fest.
Cabana is in an interesting spot where he could either keep his babyface persona or dig into the "Cult Cabana" darker side of his character.
This story has a slow build and I'm very interested to see how it plays out for good ol' BOOM BOOM.
Karrion Kross
Seeing Kross lurk in the shadows as Keith Lee celebrated his title victory was a creepy visual.
This also served as a fun cliff hanger for the end of the Great American Bash.
Complete destruction of all of his opponents so far lands Kross on my top five list.
Kross has a fun in-ring style and eye-catching entrance.
He is the NXT Boogeyman and if he sets his sights on the NXT Championship it could be long few months for Keith Lee.
So that's it! The definitive, undisputed, Top 5 wrestling personalities of the industry for this week!
