After his controversial win over Orange Cassidy in AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam, Pac should defend himself his All-Atlantic title against Trent Beretta at AEW Battle of the Belts IV on October 7th.
This upcoming title match between Beretta and Pac serves as a continuation of the rivalry between Pac and Orange Cassidy that began at AEW Revolution 2020, where the two met in singles competition. While Cassidy is yet to beat Pac, OC has taken a step closer to defeating his opponent in every fight between the two. This came to a head in their match at “AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam” when Pac had to use the ring bell hammer on Cassidy to defeat him and win his fifth successful defense of the championship. In the Twitter video hyping Beretta’s upcoming challenge, he mentions that the hammer shot sidelined Cassidy and that he plans to avenge his fallen ally.
The fight between Beretta and Pac also fuels the ongoing stable war between Death Triangle and Best Friends, which is another long-standing rivalry that dates back to Spring 2020. Best friends were Pac, Rey Fenix and Penta an eyesore El Zero M for over two and a half years. The two stables are fixed sizes of the AEW Trios Division. Following The Elite’s recent suspension of Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, Pac and The Lucha Bros defeated Best Friends to win the vacant AEW World Trios titles held by The Elite.
