After a vicious and violent match with Jon Moxley, where Mox injures his eye, Orange Cassidy declares the AEW International Championship the AEW International Waters Championship. It becomes their version of the Hardcore Title but it’s got a really funny name because everybody knows international waters means “anything goes.” You can have commentary explain that on commentary every week.
OC’s first challenger is Moxley, who is wearing an eye-patch. It’s a cool throwback to the Moxley/Jericho feud, when AEW was so cool and original. Mox would look like a pirate and because of the International Waters thing, people can chant “Pi-rate!” at him and he can scream “I am not a pirate!” for heat.
This ALSO ties into the current Okada/Danielson program, because it would imply that Okada did not really injure Danielson’s eye — it was “The De-Facer” Orange Cassidy. “De-Facer” becomes his new nickname and it has two meanings. 1) He takes people’s faces and 2) His sheer popularity means that faces turn into heels when they face him.
Okada can then feud with Orange Cassidy over the International Waters Championship because he’s jealous Orange Cassidy is the true culprit behind almost ending Bryan Danielson’s career. OR he’s just mad that Cassidy almost ended his career before Okada could have another match with him.
