Jora Johl vs. Orange Cassidy on AEW Dark
Jora Johl has been working the U.S. indies for the past few years under the ring names Harpreet Singh and Robo the Punjabi Lion, and this past May he made his AEW debut on Dark: Elevation in a losing effort against Penta El Zero M.
“Big Money” Matt Hardy clearly saw something in Johl following their Dark: Elevation match in June, and welcomed the young star into The Hardy Family Office. Since then, Johl and Private Party teamed up against Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, and Wheeler Yuta in an Elevation trios match, and although the babyfaces won that match, Johl has his opportunity to prove himself to his HFO teammates tonight on AEW Dark when he faces off against Cassidy in one-on-one action!
