One of the wrestlers involved in AEW’s current tag team has called their alliance a “breath of fresh air.” Recently, Orange Cassidy and Toni Storm have been synchronizing well, combining their impressive agility to make a strong duo. Ahead of their mixed Tornado tag team match at AEW Grand Slam Australia, Cassidy shared his views on teaming up with Storm.
In a chat with Compas On The Beat, Cassidy expressed surprise at why they hadn’t formed a team earlier, calling their partnership refreshing. He said, “You wonder why we never teamed up before. Why did it take so long to make this happen? It’s a breath of fresh air.” Storm chimed in, playfully noting how much they’re enjoying the experience together: “Oh, stop, you darling, we’re having so much fun.”
Cassidy also highlighted Storm’s impressive skills, admitting he lets her take the lead because she’s better than him in the ring, which has worked out well. Storm responded by teasing that Cassidy’s charm does half the job for him, saying, “He’s so handsome, he doesn’t have to do anything, everyone just loves him, he just shows up, and he just stands there and just has so much charisma.”
Additionally, Storm admitted to feeling nervous ahead of their high-stakes mixed tornado tag match against the Death Riders, where the losing team faces the dramatic consequence of having their hair shaved off. The AEW Grand Slam Australia event is scheduled for February 14th, featuring Storm and Cassidy versus Marina Shafir and Yuta Wheeler.
Fan Take: This fresh partnership between Orange Cassidy and Toni Storm brings a unique dynamic to AEW’s tag team scene, blending charisma and skill in a way that’s both entertaining and unpredictable. For AEW fans, it signals exciting new storytelling opportunities and showcases how mixed teams can elevate the sport’s diversity and appeal.
