During this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite: New Year’s Smash, Toni Storm provided a memorable moment for fans by bestowing Orange Cassidy with a new nickname, “Citrus Boy.” This playful exchange unfolded backstage, building on the viral chemistry the two former champions shared in recent matches.
The moment occurred as Storm, also known as the Timeless One, and Orange Cassidy, dubbed the Freshly Squeezed, prepared to step into the ring with Roderick Strong against the Death Riders for a mixed trios match.

Their in-ring antics, including a lighthearted dance between Storm and Cassidy, quickly gained traction on social media, with fans praising their dynamic performance.
