Will Ospreay’s move to AEW last year created lots of hype in the wrestling world and he has proven himself to be one of AEW’s best signings so far. He is set for a huge match at AEW Double or Nothing and has now sent a scathing message to Roderick Strong.
At AEW Double or Nothing, Will Ospreay will challenge Roderick Strong for the AEW International Championship. On the May 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, Ospreay teamed up with Orange Cassidy to face Strong and Trent Beretta. Wardlow interfered, helping Strong secure the win. After the match, Strong and his Undisputed Kingdom stablemates attacked Ospreay, leaving him bloodied after Strong struck him with the title.
In a digital exclusive, Will Ospreay sent a message to Roderick Strong as he cut a scathing promo on his upcoming opponent. The Aerial Assassin made it clear it’s his life’s mission to win the AEW International Championship.
“You think I look pretty bad right now, right? No, this is nothing. Mate, I’ve been on four-day bender, had a bowl of Cocoa Puffs, got on a plane to Japan, called out the toughest guy, and whooped him in front of his wife and kids while I was smiling, bruv. You think this is the end, Messiah? What, you think that this scares me? [Slaps himself] Nah, I live for this, bruv. I flew all the way from England on a ten-hour flight, got transferred over to Bakersfield, and this? This is the best that you’ve got? My Messiah, am I meant to believe in you, man? Am I meant to believe? No, man.
The only thing that I believe in is bell-to-bell, internationally known, no one is better than me inside that ring, and now what you’ve just done, Roderick, what you’ve just done is it’s bonded me with that championship. My blood is on that championship. So now, it is my duty, it is my spirit that is bonded with that championship. So Sunday, in the perfect city to do it in, bet it all. Gamble your life on it, son. Because now, it is my life’s mission to take the International Championship away from you, come hell or high water. Nobody is better than Will Ospreay because I am on another level.”
We will have to wait and see whether Will Ospreay will end up defeating Roderick Strong for the AEW International Championship at Double or Nothing on May 26th, as the momentum is certainly in his favor.
