The rivalry between WWE and All Elite Wrestling goes beyond discussions among fans and the jabs that talents from both companies may throw at each other. The competition between the two companies often comes to light in interviews with their stars. Will Ospreay is very aware of this, although he also understands that it's part of the game. He explained this in a recent interview with Brandon Kravitz.
Oh, I just know it's part of the job. People are always asking and I can only give my opinion. The truth is, I don't care too much. I prefer to focus on AEW and what we can do here. I think AEW is changing the landscape of professional wrestling and I love what we present. I love what we do, I love our wrestling, and everything we stand for. So, honestly, I couldn't care less about what other promotions do.
Ospreay is undoubtedly one of the most prominent wrestlers of this generation. After making a name for himself in the independent scene and in NJPW, the British wrestler turned down an offer from WWE to sign with AEW, where he has established himself as one of the company's top figures. In recent years, "The Aerial Assassin" has been very critical of WWE, a stance that has made him the target of criticism from some fans of the company owned by Endeavor.
Ospreay is the current AEW World Champion. The British wrestler retained the title at the first Clockwork Carnage in the company's history, held last weekend at AEW WrestleDream. That night also saw the debut of former WWE superstar Ilja Dragunov, who is already emerging as one of the favorites to challenge "The Aerial Assassin" for the promotion's top prize.
