Cassidy entered with his friends Trent and Chuck Taylor, but then had his partners return to the backstage area.
Jericho walked in with his Inner Circle teammates Santana and Ortiz, carrying jugs of orange juice in order to mock Cassidy.
The match was an evenly contested match. Surprisingly, Orange Cassidy got off to a stronger start with his swag and charm, and he didn’t even need his hands.

In the buildup to this event, what Y2J hated the most is Cassidy’s signature sloth. The sloth is when Cassidy plays with the opponent by lightly kicking the shin.
The King of Sloth style didn’t mind rubbing it against Chris Jericho at Fyter Fest.
However, this time Cassidy shin-kicked thrice and his fourth kick was a superkick. The superkick knocked out Jericho cold.
Orange Cassidy shocked everyone watching Fyter Fest that evening.
Nobody expected Cassidy to put on the show that eventually did. He took the ‘le champion’ to the limit.
Santana and Oritz put orange juice on Cassidy to distract him but they were taken care of by Trent and Taylor.
Cassidy then struck Y2J with the Stundog Millionaire attack and a Swinging DDT. That wasn’t enough to put away Jericho.
The Canadian wrestler then connected with the Judas effect and won the match.

Chris Jericho calls it one of his favorite matches
‘Le Champion’ appreciated the match and his opponent through Instagram. However, he also said there won’t be any rematch.
Orange Cassidy is known as the guy who is “too cool to care.” Whatever one might say, Cassidy took Jericho to the limit.
His in-ring work was fine, and some brilliant wrestling moves in the match were for the highlight reel.
Orange Cassidy surely made a statement that he can perform with the big boys and is not just a cute face.
