In a shocking twist at AEW Double or Nothing, Trent Beretta was left red-faced and reeling after losing his grudge match against Orange Cassidy. Looking like a man who’s just decided to quit the circus and become a mime, Beretta exited the arena through the crowd, embodying the essence of “taking his ball and going home.”
The former Best Friends clashed in a bruising encounter, with Cassidy sporting a moodier ring attire that screamed, “I’m serious now, Mom!” The match reached its climax in a blink-and-you-missed-it moment, with “Freshly Squeezed” Cassidy pulling off a sneaky pin on Beretta. As if he’d just lost a game of musical chairs, Beretta stormed out of the ring, clearly miffed.
Enter Rocky Romero, Beretta’s Roppongi Vice teammate, trying to play the role of a calming therapist. But in a scene reminiscent of a soap opera cliffhanger, Beretta dismissed Romero’s attempts to console him. As Renee Paquette rushed in for a post-match comment, Beretta delivered a cryptic “I’m done,” pushed Romero away, and exited stage left, leaving everyone wondering if he was headed for the nearest exit or a dramatic career change.
This defeat was more than just a bump; it was a pothole the size of a crater in Beretta’s road to redemption. Having betrayed Cassidy in April to spark this feud, Beretta’s path was already rocky (pun intended). His betrayal led to a brutal Parking Lot Brawl with his long-time tag partner Chuck Taylor, which Beretta won. However, rumors now suggest that Taylor’s parking lot tussle may have been his swan song.
Stay tuned, folks, because if wrestling has taught us anything, it’s that nobody stays “done” for long.
