Orange Cassidy isn’t here for the Logan Paul hype—at least not when it comes at the expense of the entire AEW locker room.

While speaking with Adrian Hernandez, Cassidy was asked whether he agreed with Stevie Richards’ recent claim that Logan Paul is better than the entire AEW roster. Cassidy didn’t hold back in calling out the ridiculous nature of that take.

“Uh, no, absolutely not. That Logan Paul is better than the entire AEW roster?! I think Logan Paul is good. I think he’s doing very well for his limited experience and stuff.”

He went on to say that Paul’s quick success might look impressive on the surface, but that doesn’t mean he’s better than the roster of wrestlers grinding every week in AEW. Cassidy made it clear what he thought of the narrative.

“You know, you just get angry at people like that who just go in and do it, make it look great effortlessly. But he’s not better than the AEW roster at all. That’s like another counter-programming word, clickbaity.”

Cassidy isn’t alone in calling out the take. AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher also recently addressed Richards’ claim and labeled it “bulls**.”*

There’s no denying Logan Paul has carved out a fast track to WWE success, but Cassidy and others in AEW believe the comparisons are a distraction—designed to stir up debate more than reflect reality.
