Tropical Storm Debby affected the August 7 episode of AEW Dynamite, as travel issues prevented some wrestlers from making it to the show.
Earlier in the day on Wednesday, Tony Khan noted that several wrestlers were struggling to get to the venue due to travel issues, and he held back on making announcements due to travel mayhem.
In a tweet, Tony Khan wrote that Orange Cassidy was the only member of The Conglomeration who was able to make the show due to travel issues. The Conglomeration also includes Mark Briscoe, Kyle O’Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii. Khan also noted that the group wanted a rematch after RUSH, The Beast Toros, and Roderick Strong beat them the week before.
Update: Cassidy later faced RUSH, Roderick Strong, and The Beast Mortos. Though his Conglomeration stablemates were absent, he said that he found some “locals from North Carolina” to team up with. His partners were then revealed as North Carolina natives Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, collectively known as FTR.
Cassidy and FTR then scored the win in the match on AEW Dynamite, which marked their first time sharing a ring together.
