In the recent episode of his podcast, ‘The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy’, the former WWE superstar laid an unexpected comparison. Hardy compared the AEW star Orange Cassidy with WWE legend The Undertaker. The wrestling veteran said that the AEW star plays a difficult in-ring character with ease.

 Talking about Cassidy, Matt Hardy said, “Orange Cassidy is tremendous. He’s at the top of the list when it comes to performers in AEW. Because, he’s out there playing a character that is not easy to do, but he’s very committed to the gig.”

Matt Hardy also mentioned a bizarre similarity between Orange Cassidy and the WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker. Hardy said that the AEW international champion’s relationship with Tony Khan reminds him of The Undertaker and Vince McMahon.

“In some ways….. Orange Cassidy to Tony, at this stage right now…… reminds me of the relationship between Vince McMahon and The Undertaker……..He was like Vince’s go-to guy, a guy that Vince knew could go out and get the job done. On top of that, those guys were both great wrestlers but played outlandish and over-the-top gimmicks.  So, there’s a crazy similarity there.”, Hardy continued.
