In a shocking turn of events, Private Party’s Isiah Kassidy found himself on the receiving end of a nasty landing on the floor during a singles match against former WWE Superstar Samoa Joe on last week’s Dynamite. The incident has sparked an outpouring of support from the AEW community, with top stars rallying behind Kassidy.
The match, which took place on the May 1 edition of Dynamite, saw Kassidy attempt a high-flying move against Joe, only to be dodged at the last second. The resulting landing left Kassidy reeling, and the clip of the incident has since been shared on his Instagram account.
The post has garnered widespread support from his AEW colleagues, with the likes of Mercedes Moné, Nicholas Jackson, and others commenting on the post. Even top stars like Sammy Guevara, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bryan Cage have taken the time to show their support for Kassidy.
Meanwhile, in a separate development, Nicholas Jackson has sparked controversy by siding with WWE’s Pat McAfee in a lighthearted joke about AEW President Tony Khan’s recent “injury.” Khan, who was attacked by The Young Bucks on Dynamite a few weeks ago, has been selling his neck injury convincingly, even going so far as to wear a neck brace to the NFL draft.
When Pat McAfee poked fun at Khan’s injury, Jackson surprisingly took the WWE star’s side, posting a reel of the joke on his Instagram story. This display of heel character has sparked concerns about the Elite faction’s growing influence in the company, with many wondering how they will wield their newfound power.
As the AEW universe continues to navigate the fallout from these recent events, one thing is clear: the bonds of camaraderie among the wrestlers are stronger than ever, as evidenced by the outpouring of support for Kassidy. But with the Elite faction’s grip on the company tightening, the road ahead promises to be fraught with tension and drama.
